Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

The ever-diversifying field of aerosol effects on climate is comprehensively presented here, describing the strong connection between fundamental research and model applications in a way that will allow both experienced researchers and those new to the field to gain an understanding of a wide range of topics. The material is consistently presented at three levels for each topic: (i) an accessible ""quick read"" of the essentials, (ii) a more detailed description, and (iii) a section dedicated to how the processes are handled in models. The modelling section in each chapter summarizes the current level of knowledge and what the gaps in this understanding mean for the effects of aerosols on climate, enabling readers to quickly understand how new research fits into established knowledge. Definitions, case studies, reference data, and examples are included throughout.

Aerosols and Climate is a vital resource for graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, senior researchers, and lecturers in departments of atmospheric science, meteorology, engineering, and environment. It will also be of interest to those working in operational centers and policy-facing organizations, providing strong reference material on the current state of knowledge.

Ken S. Carslaw is Professor at the School of Earth and Environment in the University of Leeds, United Kingdom. Since 1999, he has led a large aerosol, cloud and climate research group of PhD students and postdoctoral researchers at Leeds. His group developed the Global Model of Aerosol Processes (GLOMAP) that is implemented in the UK Met Office climate model. His research has spanned a wide range of topics in the field of aerosols and climate, with publications on natural aerosols, Arctic aerosols, aerosol formation, dust and biogeochemistry, ice-nucleating particles, radiative forcing, volcanic impacts, paleo-aerosols, air quality, uncertainty quantification, geoengineering, and stratospheric aerosols. He has published more than 200 papers. In 2001, Prof. Carslaw was a cofounding editor of the EGU journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, and he remains its Executive Editor. He has received several awards for his research, including the Royal Society Wolfson Merit Award. He is Fellow of the American Geophysical Union and has been a Thomson Reuters (Clarivate Analytics) Highly Cited Scientist every year since 2014.
