Textbooks:
We are in the process on converting class materials into a textbook, which means that we
do not have a required textbook. We will hand out required reading materials ahead
of time, and suggest seleced readings which may also be useful from the following books:
This covers the geophysics end of the syllabus,
-Looking into the Earth: An Introduction to Geological Geophysics
A.E. Mussett and M.A. Kahn, Cambridge Univ. Press
Sources for atmospheric science/fluid dynamics:-
- Atmospheric Science: an introductory survey.
J.M. Wallace and P.V. Hobbs, Academic Press
This last book is a good investment if you are going to take other climate classes. It is pitched slightly high for this class, but we will suggest readings from it that will be useful.
There will be some assigned readings from these notes.
