Sun's Influence on Climate
Av Joanna D. Haigh, Peter Cargill
Inbunden, 2015
857 kr
Lägg i varukorg
The Earth's climate system depends entirely on the Sun for its energy. Solar radiation warms the atmosphere and is fundamental to atmospheric composition, while the distribution of solar heating across the planet produces global wind patterns and contributes to the formation of clouds, storms, and …
