About this book

Climatology in Cold Regions

A groundbreaking interdisciplinary study of cold-region weather systems and their vital role in predicting climate change across the globe

Climatology in Cold Regions explores the complexities of land?atmospheric interaction across the Earth's cryosphere, systematically placing soil thawing, snow melting, surface diabatic heating, and other processes within the context of broader climatological models. Drawing from a wealth of new data, leading atmospheric scientist Chenghai Wang illustrates how cold-region weather systems can be parameterized to improve seasonal climate prediction and provide crucial insights into projected changes in climate over the next 50-100 years.

The book opens with an introduction to the characteristics and classification of cold-region climatology, followed by a detailed description of the primary weather systems and land surface processes in cold regions. The core of the book presents a new approach for seasonal climate prediction using signals obtained from cryospheric processes, supported by a discussion of climate disasters and the impact of climate change on the ecology of cold regions.

Introduces a new way of modeling climate in cold regions
Offers novel approaches for assessing climate signals from cold regions in seasonal and sub-seasonal predictions
Presents new data on the role of cold-region climatology in forecasting and driving global temperature changes
Discusses the role of cold regions as the main source of global freshwater supply

A significant contribution to climate research and beyond, Climatology in Cold Regions is essential reading for students, scientists, and researchers in the atmospheric sciences, meteorology, ecology, hydrology, and Earth sciences.
