Cyclogenesis research is a central issue of meteorology and climatology.
This book gives a deep specific view and fundamentally and effectively
contributes to the discussion of the problem. It treats cyclogenisis as
a stochastic process in a very fundamental way. Since the publication of
the first edition of Global Tropical Cyclogenesis in 2001, a number of
important scientific results has been obtained using methods and
techniques proposed in that first edition. There is therefore a great
need for a revised 2nd edition of this book. It is based on scientific
findings from the performance of satellite data processing and a series
of scientific marine expeditions to the tropics as part of major Russian
Science Academy research projects. Professor Eugene A. Sharkov has
proposed the main approaches, experimental techniques and theoretical
explanations for many scientific findings as well as new methods of
satellite processing. He is recognized as a leading scientist in the
field of microwave remote sensing of terrestrial surfaces and atmosphere
and in nonlinear geophysics (origination and evolution of atmospheric
catastrophes) and has published around 100 scientific works on the
problems of global tropical cyclogenesis structure and evolution.
