Synopsis
This book describes in simple terms a new paradigm for understanding the atmosphere, that goes beyond just "weather" and "climate." Veering from the popular expression that "the climate is what you expect, the weather is what you get", this book takes the reader by the hand and explains that there is a third regime--macroweather--in between the weather and climate.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Weather, Macroweather, and the Climate is an insider's attempt to explain as simply as possible how to understand the atmospheric variability that occurs over an astonishing range of scales: from millimeters to the size of the planet, from milliseconds to billions of years. The variability is so large that standard ways of dealing with it are utterly inadequate: in 2015, it was found that classical approaches had underestimated the variability by theastronomical factor of a quadrillion (a million billion).Author Shaun Lovejoy asks - and answers - many fundamental questions such as: Is the atmosphere random or deterministic? What isturbulence? How big is a cloud (what is the appropriate notion of size itself)? What is its dimension? How can we conceptualize the structures within structures within structures spanning millimeters to thousands of kilometers and milliseconds to the age of the planet? What is weather? What is climate? Lovejoy shows in simple terms why the industrial epoch warming can't be natural - much simpler than trying to show that it's anthropogenic. We will discuss in simple terms how to make thebest seasonal and annual forecasts - without giant numerical models. Above all, the book offers readers a new understanding of the atmosphere. This book describes in simple terms a new paradigm for understanding the atmosphere, that goes beyond just "weather" and "climate." Veering from the popular expression that "the climate is what you expect, the weather is what you get", this book takes the reader by the hand and explains that there is a third regime--macroweather--in between the weather and climate.
