Thompson R. Atmospheric Processes and Systems

London: Routledge, 1998. — 194 p.An introductory textbook on atmospheric processes and systems represents a vital contribution to the Routledge Introductions to Environment series, since the elements and weather regimes involved are fundamental to the nature and functioning of the total physical environment. Despite these rather deterministic overtones, it is apparent that the atmosphere plays a dominant role in shaping the physical environment and in controlling activities and responses in the cultural environment.
