Depuis les premières explorations du XXe siècle, la glaciologie est devenue une science à part entière, une science cruciale même, puisque c’est elle qui permet de suivre l’histoire du climat sur des milliers d’années.
La découverte d'un continent, désert de froid et de glace, la vie quotidienne des chercheurs dans ce milieu extrême, les trouvailles et les progrès d'une science, l'étude des glaces, qui permet de reconstituer le climat du passé et contribue à une meilleure compréhension de l'impact des hommes sur l'atmosphère de notre planète.
If you only have 30 seconds, there is time using this book to make sense of the science behind the seeming vagaries of the weather, the controversies, predictions and forecasts for climate change that shape our day-to-dayexperiences of the great outdoors.
Extrait : "Dans les sociétés primitives, l'homme, placé presque sans défense devant les phénomènes de l'atmosphère, dut s'attacher surtout à l'observation de ceux qui le menaçaient, et qui, sur une terre à peine cultivée, se produisaient sans doute plus fréquemment qu'aujourd'hui.
This book is composed of 12 review papers invited for the Palmen Memorial Symposium on Extratropical Cyclones held in Helsinki, Finland, 29 August - 2 September 1988.
The present review of weather-satellite systems, data, and environmental applications encompasses the evolution of space-based weather observation, national observing capabilities, sensor data and processing, climate and meteorological applications, applications to land, agriculture, and ocean sciences, and some future directions.
