商品簡介
This monograph by Hobbs (atmospheric sciences, U. of Washington) is a comprehensive introduction to the physics and chemistry of ice. Drawing on research from physics, chemistry, glaciology, meteorology, geophysics, and molecular biology, the monograph's ten chapters cover solid phases of the water substance, electrical properties, optical properties, mechanical properties, thermal properties and diffusion in ice, nucleation of ice, growth of ice from the vapor phase, growth of ice from the liquid phase, and ice in the atmosphere. Applied aspects of ice physics are also discussed. This is a paperbound edition of a work first published in 1974. Annotation c2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
作者簡介
Peter V. Hobbs did his doctoral work at Imperial College London, before moving to the University of Washington in 1963, where he founded and directed the Cloud and Aerosol Research Group, and became a leading researcher in atmospheric physics, pioneering techniques of airborne cloud sampling. He received a number of awards for his work, including Fellow of the American Meteorological Society (1974), Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (1982), the American Meteorological Society's Jule G. Charney Award (1984), and Sackler Distinguished Lecturer in Planetary and Space Sciences, Tel Aviv University, 2000. He remained at Washington until his death in 2005.
