Elsevier Weather, Climate and Seasons in the Solar System (Space and Planetary Advances)

Weather, Climate and Seasons Across the Solar System comprises a comprehensive exploration of atmosphere dynamics on lunar and planetary bodies across our Solar System, including the study of atmosphere/surface interactions. Richly illustrated with data, lab and field models, analogues and images from space probes, telescopic observations and landers/rovers, this book presents a compelling overview, narrative and study of planetary evolution that is ideal for researchers, educators, and enthusiasts alike. It serves as both a reference and an engaging read, inviting readers to contemplate the vast complexities of weather, climate and seasons for planetary and lunar bodies for and near in the Solar System. From storms on Jupiter and the outer gas giants to the surface gradients of temperature on Mars and the seasonality of associated surface changes, students, researchers, and practitioners will gain insights into how these processes have evolved over time and the factors influencing them. Offers a comprehensive and robust coverage across all sections, including data, lab models, and analogues Serves as a one-stop reference for Solar-System-wide discussions on weather, climate, and seasonality Includes detailed understanding of surface/atmospheric interaction and evolution Edited by several world-class researchers and practitioners in their respective fields of expertise
