| Zusammenfassung: | "This updated new edition of Weather Cycles: Real or Imaginary? explores in detail the unresolved debate on the existence of weather cycles. The book examines the competing arguments for observed effects being due to natural variability, solar activity and the Earth's orbital parameters." "Weather Cycles: Real or Imaginary? provides a different perspective on one of the most difficult questions in the current global-warming debate: namely, just how much of the recent temperature rise can be attributed to natural causes? Only by understanding how the climate can change of its own accord, and whether observed shifts are a part of a set of predictable patterns, will it be possible to reach a reliable judgement on how much impact human activities are having. This book examines the complex analysis required to assess the evidence for cycles with a minimum of mathematics. Its comprehensive and balanced account will appeal to the student and expert alike."--Jacket |

Only by understanding how the climate can change of its own accord, and whether observed shifts are a part of a set of predictable patterns, will it be possible to reach a reliable judgement on how much impact human activities are having. This book examines the complex analysis required to assess the evidence for cycles with a minimum of mathematics. Its comprehensive and balanced account will appeal to the student and expert alike."--Jacket</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Meteorology</subfield><subfield code="x">Periodicity.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85084345</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Climatology.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Météorologie</subfield><subfield code="x">Périodicité.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Climatologie.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">climatology.</subfield><subfield code="2">aat</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">SCIENCE</subfield><subfield code="x">Earth Sciences</subfield><subfield code="x">Meteorology & Climatology.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Climatology</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Meteorology</subfield><subfield code="x">Periodicity</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Klimazyklus</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="0">http://d-nb.info/gnd/4268651-9</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Periodizität</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="0">http://d-nb.info/gnd/4248522-8</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Wetter</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="0">http://d-nb.info/gnd/4065852-1</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Electronic books.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Electronic books.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="a">Burroughs, William James.</subfield><subfield code="t">Weather cycles.</subfield><subfield code="b">2nd ed.</subfield><subfield code="d">Cambridge ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2003</subfield><subfield code="z">0521820847</subfield><subfield code="z">0521528224</subfield><subfield code="w">(DLC) 2004269234</subfield><subfield code="w">(OCoLC)52946824</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="0"><subfield code="l">FWS01</subfield><subfield code="p">ZDB-4-EBA</subfield><subfield code="q">FWS_PDA_EBA</subfield><subfield code="u">https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=125119</subfield><subfield code="3">Volltext</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Askews and Holts Library Services</subfield><subfield code="b">ASKH</subfield><subfield code="n">AH22948556</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">ebrary</subfield><subfield code="b">EBRY</subfield><subfield code="n">ebr10513099</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">EBSCOhost</subfield><subfield code="b">EBSC</subfield><subfield code="n">125119</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">ProQuest MyiLibrary Digital eBook Collection</subfield><subfield code="b">IDEB</subfield><subfield code="n">238725</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">YBP Library Services</subfield><subfield code="b">YANK</subfield><subfield code="n">2301592</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">YBP Library Services</subfield><subfield code="b">YANK</subfield><subfield code="n">7272948</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">YBP Library Services</subfield><subfield code="b">YANK</subfield><subfield code="n">9251749</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="994" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">92</subfield><subfield code="b">GEBAY</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">ZDB-4-EBA</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="049" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">DE-863</subfield></datafield></record></collection> |

"This updated new edition of Weather Cycles: Real or Imaginary? explores in detail the unresolved debate on the existence of weather cycles. The book examines the competing arguments for observed effects being due to natural variability, solar activity and the Earth's orbital parameters." "Weather Cycles: Real or Imaginary? provides a different perspective on one of the most difficult questions in the current global-warming debate: namely, just how much of the recent temperature rise can be attributed to natural causes? Only by understanding how the climate can change of its own accord, and whether observed shifts are a part of a set of predictable patterns, will it be possible to reach a reliable judgement on how much impact human activities are having. This book examines the complex analysis required to assess the evidence for cycles with a minimum of mathematics. Its comprehensive and balanced account will appeal to the student and expert alike."--Jacket Meteorology Periodicity. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85084345 Climatology.
