Book Description
Written by pioneers in the field, “Highlights in Helioclimatology” examines the scientific evidence related to the influence of solar activity on climate and the resulting atmospheric process that creates hurricanes. In addition to providing the science behind the phenomenon, this book also provides tools for aiding in hurricane prediction, specifically spectral analysis and Signal Theory. In addition to aiding readers in understanding tropical storm and hurricane genesis, intensification, and prediction, “Highlights in Helioclimatology” also provides an excellent introduction to spectral analysis – an essential tool for anyone who is actively performing research in hurricanes and climatology. It includes tools that aid in hurricane prediction, specifically spectra analysis and signal theory. It covers various perspectives in hurricane research including matriarchal theory and principal component analysis. Application of cross-wavelet analysis to terrestrial and cosmophysical phenomena to determine their main common resonant frequencies from ultra-short to long-term periodicities.
Editorial Reviews
Review
Highlights in Helioclimatology uncovers the connection among solar influence, climate change, and hurricane activity and examines the use of spectral analysis and signal theory for their prediction.
From the Back Cover
Written by pioneers of the new titular field, Highlights in Helioclimatology is the only book that specializes in the influence of geoexternal forcing – cosmic rays and solar and geomagnetic activities – on terrestrial phenomena such as hurricanes and climate.
In addition to explaining the science behind the phenomena, this book also includes:
- tools that aid in hurricane prediction, specifically spectra analysis and signal theory
- various perspectives in hurricane research including matricial theory and principal component analysis
- application of cross-wavelet analysis to terrestrial and cosmophysical phenomena to determine their main common resonant frequencies from ultra-short to long-term periodicities
