This book showcases the global energy balance of the climate system and feedback processes that determine the climate sensitivity, initial-boundary value problems, energy transport in the climate system, large-scale ocean circulation and abrupt climate change UR - http://148.231.10.114:2048/login?url=http://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-642-00773-6 ER -
