Note(s) : This book looks at global atmospheric processes from a physical standpoint using available
current and past observational data taken from measurements of relevant atmospheric
parameters. It describes various aspects of the current atmospheric state and its
future evolution, focusing primarily on the energetic balance of the Earth and atmosphere,
and taking into consideration the multi-faceted global equilibrium between these two
systems, carbon, and water. The analysis presented in this book restricts itself to
those objects and processes that allow us to obtain reliable conclusions and numerical
estimations, in contrast to current climate models with much larger numbers of parameters
for describing the same problems. As a result, in spite of the roughness of numerical
parameters, the book unveils a reliable and transparent physical picture of energetic
phenomena in the global atmosphere. In particular, it shows that approximately only
one-fourth of atmospheric water returns from the atmosphere to the Earth in the form
of free molecules. It was shown that the contemporary warming of our planet has an
anthropogenic character, and that the average global temperature increases due to
an increase of the concentration of atmospheric CO2 molecules, via an increase in
atmospheric moisture, as well as an increase in the amount of aerosols in the atmosphere.
Accumulation of atmospheric carbon dioxide plays a subsidiary role in this process
and gives approximately one-third in a change of the global temperature, while an
increase in the amount of atmospheric water by as little as only 0.3% per year explains
the observed warming of the Earth. The book shows how the greenhouse instability of
the atmosphere evidently has its origins in the Eocene epoch, presenting an analysis
of the influence of various types of global energetic processes on the climate that
differs from the official stance on these problems
