McGregor, The University of Birm ingham, UK Simon Nieuwolt (deceased) Formerly Adjunct Professor, University of G uelph, Canada Climatology, the scientific study of climate, is not only concerne d with explaining why a location's or region's climate is like it is but also wi th describing the nature and availability of the climate resource for a wide ran ge of human activities. This subject is of great relevance to the tropics as cli mate in many ways controls the lives and economic activities of the approximatel y 2400 million people living in tropical regions. Tropical climates also have ef fects that reach far beyond the limits of the regions where they actually prevai l: the global general circulation is largely driven by the export of considerabl e amounts of heat energy from tropical to extratropical latitudes: a large part of all atmospheric water content originates from the tropics, and intermittent t ropical phenomena, like El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO), not only influence the climates over extensive tropical areas but many parts of the extratropics. T he climate sensitivity of populations and economic production in the tropics als o makes these regions especially vulnerable to any negative impacts arising from human-induced climate change. Tropical Climatology aims to provide a geographic al viewpoint on the physical processes in the tropical atmosphere: to offer expl anations of how a location's climate is a product of these processes and to high light the implications of tropical atmospheric behaviour and climate change for those living in the tropics. This is the second edition of the book and reflects the substantial developments in the field of tropical climatology which have ta.…
