The Fluid Environment of the Earth

The book offers a dual-level approach, catering to both undergraduate and advanced environmental studies students. It stands out by including extensive sections on biogeochemistry and integrating entropy considerations into its discussions. Key topics covered include thermodynamics of ocean and atmosphere, climate-chemistry connections, and the carbon dioxide issue. It also addresses atmospheric and ocean pollution, biogeochemical cycles through mathematical methods, and sea-atmosphere interactions, including monsoons and hurricanes. Additionally, it provides insights into fluid environments in the Solar System.
