An Introduction to Clouds provides a fundamental understanding of clouds, ranging from cloud microphysics to the large-scale impacts of clouds on climate. On the microscale, phase changes and ice nucleation are covered comprehensively, including aerosol particles and thermodynamics relevant for the formation of clouds and precipitation. At larger scales, cloud dynamics, mid-latitude storms and tropical cyclones are discussed leading to the role of clouds on the hydrological cycle and climate. Each chapter ends with problem sets and multiple choice questions that can be completed online, and important equations are highlighted in boxes for ease of reference. Combining mathematical formulations with qualitative explanations of underlying concepts, this accessible book requires relatively little previous knowledge, making it ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in atmospheric science, environmental sciences and related disciplines.

Les nuages contiennent d’énormes quantités d’eau. Comment font-ils pour ne pas nous tomber sur la tête, comme le redoutaient nos ancêtres les Gaulois ? Comment se forment-ils ? Comment se déplacent-ils ? Les réponses à ces quelques interrogations de bon sens nous familiarisent avec les bases de la météorologie, science des phénomènes atmosphériques. Comprendre les nuages, c’est comprendre le temps qu’il fait, du beau fixe aux catastrophes, mais aussi le cycle de l’eau et son influence sur le climat. Cette nouvelle édition, actualisée et enrichie des nouveaux moyens d’investigations, permettra à tout lecteur de découvrir les enjeux scientifiques cachés derrière la beauté de notre ciel.
