This book offers an introduction to the physics of climate science. It is divided into three main sections, with the first providing an introduction to the atmosphere and ocean-their composition, thermodynamics, vertical structure, and basic flow patterns. The next chapters focus on the central physics of interactions between radiation, gases, and particles, addressing the core phenomena of absorption, emission, scattering, and radiative transfer. The final section integrates those principles and how they are applied in the study of weather and climate change.

Autorenporträt
Michael A. Box earned his undergraduate degree in physics at Monash University in 1969, before moving to the University of Sydney to complete a Ph.D in nuclear physics. He has worked in the field of atmospheric physics for more than 35 years, and is well known for his contributions in radiative transfer, atmospheric aerosols, and remote sensing inversion theory. Michael Box is a Fellow of the Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society (AMOS) and a member of the American Geophysical Union (AGU). He has also served two terms as an associate editor of the Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer .Gail P. Box completed both her B.Sc and Ph.D in physics at Newcastle University. Her research has covered many aspects of aerosols, including air quality and radiative forcing. She established the Australian Aerosol Workshop, now expanded as the Australian and New Zealand Aerosol Assembly, to bring together workers in this field. Gail Box is also a member of AMOS, AGU, and the Clean Air Society of Australia and New Zealand.
