Produktbeschreibung

Originally formed around a set of lectures presented at a NATO Advanced Study Institute (ASI), this book has grown to become organised and presented rather more as a textbook than as a standard "collection of proceedings". This therefore is the first unified reference 'textbook' in seasonal to interannual climate predictions and their practical uses. Written by some of the world's leading experts, the book covers a rapidly-developing science of prime social concern.
