More advanced topics apply the basic knowledge introduced to understanding natural variability of the climate in both the present and past, the sensitivity of climate to external forcing, explanations for the ice ages, and the science of human-induced climate change. The physical principles and computer models necessary for understanding past climate and predicting future climate are also discussed.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis book is recommended for upper division undergraduates and graduates in meteorology, atmospheric science, oceanography, and other environmental fields.
