The Interaction Between Earth's Rotation and Geophysical Processes

The Interaction Between Earth's Rotation and Geophysical Processes



By N.S.Sidorenkov







Filling an important gap in the
geophysical literature at specialist level, this monograph is the only
up-to-date title to provide a link between the Earth's rotation and its
atmo- and hydrosphere, including the ice masses.

Starting with the Earth's
motions, the text goes on to look at irregularities and the effect of
atmospheric processes on the Earth's spin. Tides and seasons occupy the
following sections before a discussion of the Earth-ocean-atmosphere
system and the mechanical action of the atmosphere on the Earth's
rotation. The whole is rounded off by an index of abbreviations and
appendices with sections on related physics for better readability, plus
a comprehensive bibliography for further reading. A must for
geophysicists, oceanographers, glaciologists, climatologists and
meteorologists alike.
