This book examines the underlying physical and chemical mechanisms driving climate imbalance through a rigorous quantitative analysis. It provides a framework for understanding how anthropic stresses affect earth’s climate by analysing the interactions among solar radiation, atmospheric composition, and earth’s surface properties. The work delivers a coherent physico-chemical perspective on climate change that bridges multiple scientific disciplines. Features:Analyses the thermodynamics of ozone, carbon cycles, and water systems to quantify their impact on global temperature regulationExplores the relationship between solar forcing mechanisms and earth’s climate response through detailed scientific examinationQuantifies the relative contributions of greenhouse gases, albedo changes, and solar variability to earth’s energy budgetExamines the existing multidisciplinary investigations by discussing the correlation and causality of different phenomenaPresents complex climate-cience concepts through extensive figures and up-to-date literature referencesThis book is intended for researchers, academics, and graduate students in atmospheric science, physical chemistry and environmental science. It also provides practical conclusions for scientists and engineers involved in green environment initiatives.
