• Shang-Ping Xie, 2024: Coupled Atmosphere-Ocean Dynamics: From El Niño to Climate Change. Elsevier, 424 pp. ISBN 978-0-323-95490-7 (paperback)

横はB5なみ、縦はA5より少し大きい判のペーパーバック。2024年の新刊となっているが2023年中に出ていたようだ。わたしは2023年11月に通信販売で注文し、2024年1月に受け取った。目次の書き抜きをしたが、まだ実質的に読んでいない。しかし、図を参照することがあるので、暫定版の読書メモを出しておく。

著者は中国出身で、日本で博士号をとったあと、アメリカ合衆国で大学教員をしている。名まえは漢字では「謝 尚平」とかく。「謝 (Xie)」の発音を かたかな で近似すれば「シエ」である。

折りかえしのあとに目次をつける。
