| Title | Air and Water : Trade Winds, Hurricanes, Gulf Stream, Tsunamis and Other Striking Phenomena |
| Author(s) | Moreau, Ren?? |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2017. |
| Description | XVI, 265 p. 97 illus., 91 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Air and water are so familiar that we all think we know them. Yet how difficult it remains to predict their behavior, with so many questions butting against the limits of our knowledge. How are cyclones, tornadoes, thunderstorms, tsunamis or floods generated ??? sometimes causing devastation and death? What will the weather be tomorrow, next week, next summer? This book brings some answers to these questions with a strategy of describing before explaining. Starting by considering air and water in equilibrium (i.e., at rest), it progresses to discuss dynamic phenomena first focusing on large scale structures, such as El Ni??o or trade winds, then on ever smaller structures, such as low-pressure zones in the atmosphere, clouds, rain, as well as tides and waves. It finishes by describing man-mad e constructions (dams, ports, power plants, etc.) that serve to domesticate our water resources and put them to work for us. Including over one hundred illustrations and very few equations, most of the text is accessible to readers with no more than high-school science and who are at ease with quantities such as the temperature of a fluid or the pressure within such a medium. Beyond the primary audience of engineers, teachers, and students, the book is thus also addressed to walkers, hikers, navigators, and all nature lovers. |

| Title | Atmospheric Rivers |
| Author(s) | Ralph, F. Martin;Dettinger, Michael D;Rutz, Jonathan J;Waliser, Duane E |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2020. |
| Description | XLII, 252 p. 173 illus., 159 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book is the standard reference based on roughly 20 years of research on atmospheric rivers, emphasizing progress made on key research and applications questions and remaining knowledge gaps. The book presents the history of atmospheric-rivers research, the current state of scientific knowledge, tools, and policy-relevant (science-informed) problems that lend themselves to real-world application of the research???and how the topic fits into larger national and global contexts. This book is written by a global team of authors who have conducted and published the majority of critical research on atmospheric rivers over the past years. The book is intended to benefit practitioners in the fields of meteorology, hydrology and related disciplines, including students as well as senior researchers |

| Title | Extreme Events in Nature and Society |
| Author(s) | Albeverio, Sergio;Jentsch, Volker;Kantz, Holger |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2006. |
| Description | XVI, 352 p. 122 illus., 7 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Significant, and usually unwelcome, surprises, such as floods, financial crisis, epileptic seizures, or material rupture, are the topics of Extreme Events in Nature and Society. The book, authored by foremost experts in these fields, reveals unifying and distinguishing features of extreme events, including problems of understanding and modelling their origin, spatial and temporal extension, and potential impact. The chapters converge towards the difficult problem of anticipation: forecasting the event and proposing measures to moderate or prevent it. Extreme Events in Nature and Society will interest not only specialists, but also the general reader eager to learn how the multifaceted field of extreme events can be viewed as a coherent whole |

| Title | Space Weather : Research Towards Applications in Europe |
| Author(s) | Lilensten, Jean |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 2007. |
| Description | XII, 332 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book shows the state of the art in Europe on a very new discipline, Space Weather. This discipline lies at the edge between science and industry. This book reflects such a position, with theoretic papers and applicative papers as well. It is divided into 5 chapters. Each chapter starts with a short introduction, which shows the coherence of a given domain. Then, 4 to 5 contributions written by the best specialists in Europe give detailed hints of a hot topic in space weather. From the reading of this book, it becomes evident that space weather is a living discipline, full of promises and already full of amazing realizations. The strength of Europe is clear through the book, but it is also clear that this discipline is world wide |

| Title | Lights in the Sky : Identifying and Understanding Astronomical and Meteorological Phenomena |
| Author(s) | Maunder, Michael |
| Publication | London, Springer London, 2007. |
| Description | XV, 227 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Amateur astronomers spend a lot of their time observing the sky, but not everything up there is necessarily an astronomical phenomenon. Nor is everything immediately identifiable. How many people can tell the difference between a Sun Dog and a Glory - both meteorological phenomena? Or between the Zodiacal Light and the Gegenschein, which are astronomical? Lights in the Sky is a truly comprehensive guide to observing, identifying, and imaging sky glows and other unusual atmospheric/astronomical phenomena, in both the night and daytime skies. If, as a practical observer, you want to be able to identify what it is when you are faced, for example, with the Specter of the Brocken - or with an unidentified flying object that is...well, unidentified...then Lights in the Sky will provide all the practical scientific information you need |
