À propos de cet e-book
'Extreme Weather' offers a comprehensive exploration of catastrophic weather events and their increasing frequency in our changing climate. The book presents a compelling analysis of how atmospheric dynamics, ocean currents, and thermal gradients combine to create severe weather phenomena, while examining the broader implications for society and the environment.
Through a methodical approach, it reveals the startling 46% increase in extreme weather events since 1980, backed by data from prestigious organizations like NOAA and the World Meteorological Organization. The book progresses logically through three main sections, beginning with the fundamental science behind extreme weather formation, then examining specific weather categories such as tropical cyclones and heat waves, and concluding with an analysis of societal impacts.
What sets this work apart is its balanced treatment of controversial topics, particularly the relationship between climate change and weather intensity, presenting peer-reviewed research while acknowledging areas where scientific consensus is still evolving. Using clear, technical language accessible to both professionals and informed readers, the book incorporates modern technologies and methodologies, including climate modeling and big data analytics, to enhance our understanding of weather patterns.
It serves as an invaluable resource for meteorologists, emergency management professionals, and urban planners, offering practical applications for risk assessment, emergency preparedness, and community resilience planning. The integration of detailed illustrations, satellite imagery, and data visualizations helps readers grasp complex weather patterns and their evolution over time.
