Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Climate variability is controlled by nonlinear processes, which can give rise to transition behavior due to tipping points and extreme behavior. This book presents stochastic dynamical systems theory, synthesizing our current knowledge of climate variability. An invaluable resource for graduate students and researchers in climate dynamics, physical oceanography, meteorology and paleoclimatology.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Henk A. Dijkstra is Professor of Dynamical Oceanography at the Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Utrecht University, The Netherlands. His main research interests are in the application of dynamical systems methods to problems in climate variability and climate modeling. He is the author of Nonlinear Physical Oceanography (2nd edition, 2005) and Dynamical Oceanography (2008). He is a member of the Dutch Royal Academy of Arts and Sciences. In 2005, he received the Lewis Fry Richardson medal from the European Geosciences Union and in 2009 he was elected a Fellow of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.
