This collaborative book aims to offer a comprehensive introduction to global climate, the way it is currently changing, the role of earth, air and satellite observation and monitoring, and subsequent climate modelling. It focuses on the interaction between natural and anthropogenic human- made change factors. The book emphasizes the importance of capturing climatic data and the use of that data in computer-based climatic modelling.

Kyrill Ya Kondratyev, Arthur P. Cracknell

Part 1 Introduction: background; the factors involved in climate change; natural factors affecting climate change; nuclear war and climate; on the perspective concept and climate change studies. Part 2 The observed regularities of climate: the CO2 cycle and global-scale climate changes from observational data; detecting the CO2 signal; a global system of observations. Part 3 The World Climate Research Programme WCRP: fundamental principles of the WCRP; the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment GEWEX.
