Preview Recent Progress In Atmospheric Sciences: Applications to the Asia-pacific Region
Description:
This book contains 22 peer-reviewed articles that cover a spectrum of contemporary subjects relevant to atmospheric sciences, with specific applications to the Asia-Pacific region. The majority of these papers consist of a review of a scientific sub-field in atmospheric sciences, while some contain original contributions. All of the accepted papers were subject to scientific reviews and revisions. The book is divided into 2 traditional fields in atmospheric sciences: atmospheric dynamics and meteorology; and atmospheric physics and chemistry. The authors of these papers are distinguished alumni of the Department of Atmospheric Sciences at the National Taiwan University, residing in the USA and Taiwan. This book is dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the Department of Atmospheric Sciences that occurred in 2004. Papers in atmospheric dynamics and meteorology cover the following subjects: El Nino/Southern Oscillation, air/sea interactions, convection in the tropics, meiyu frontal systems, tropical cyclones/typhoons, data assimilations, and mesoscale modeling. In atmospheric physics and chemistry, subjects range from aerosols/clouds interactions, heat budgets in the context of air/sea interactions, atmospheric radiative transfer, remote sensing of the oceans, Asian dust outbreaks and clouds, reviews of cloud microphysics and urban ozone formations, to a satellite GPS system for typhoon studies and weather predictions. Contents: Atmospheric Dynamics and Meteorology:; Ocean-Atmosphere-Land Feedbacks on the Western North Pacific-East Asian Summer Climate (C Chou & J-Y Tu); Convective-Radiative-Mixing Processes in the Tropical Ocean-Atmosphere (C H Sui et al.); Advances in the Dynamics and Targeted Observations of Tropical Cyclone Movement (C-C Wu); Vortex Interactions and Typhoon Concentric Eyewall Formation (H-C Kuo et al.); Atmospheric Physics and Chemistry:; Application of Satellite-Based Surface Heat Budgets to Climate Studies of the Tropical Pacific Ocean and Eastern Indian Ocean (M-D Chou et al.); Some Unsolved Problems in Atmospheric Radiative Transfer: Implication for Climate Research in the Asia-Pacific Region (K N Liou et al.); Outbreaks of Asian Dust Storms: An Overview from Satellite and Surface Perspectives (S-C Tsay); A Review of Ozone Formation in Megacities of East Asia and Its Potential Impact on the Ozone Trend (S C Liu); Impact of FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC Data on Typhoon and Mei-Yu Prediction (Y-H Kuo et al.); and other papers.
