his book is an elementary treatment of engineering hydrology with descriptions that aid in a qualitative appreciation and techniques which enable a quantitative evaluation of the hydrologic processes that are of importance to a civil engineer. It focuses on the Indian scenario of water resources with orientation to tropical climates. The Comprehensive coverage and clear explanations of topics w…
Clouds affect our daily weather and play key roles in the global climate. Through their ability to precipitate, clouds provide virtually all of the fresh water on Earth and are a crucial link in the hydrologic cycle. With ever-increasing importance being placed on quantifiable predictions - from forecasting the local weather to anticipating climate change - we must understand how clouds operate…
The principles of chemical oceanography provide insight into the processes regulating the marine carbon cycle. The text offers a background in chemical oceanography and a description of how chemical elements in seawater and ocean sediments are used as tracers of physical, biological, chemical and geological processes in the ocean. The first seven chapters present basic topics of thermodynamics,…
