Description
Wallace and Hobbs’ original edition of
Atmospheric Science helped define the field nearly 30 years ago, and has served as the
cornerstone for most university curriculums. Now students and professionals alike can use this updated classic to understand atmospheric
phenomena in the context of the latest discoveries and technologies, and prepare themselves for more advanced study and real-life problem
solving.
Atmospheric Science, Second Edition, has been completely revamped in terms of content and appearance.
It contains new chapters on atmospheric chemistry, the Earth system,climate, and the atmospheric boundary layer, as well as enhanced
treatment of atmospheric dynamics, weather forecasting, radiative transfer, severe storms, and human impacts, such as global warming.
The authors illustrate concepts with colorful state-of-the-art imagery and cover a vast amount of new information in the field. They
have also developed several online materials for instructors who adopt the text.
With its thorough coverage of the fundamentals, clear
explanations, and extensive updates, Wallace & Hobbs'
Atmospheric Science, Second Edition, is the essential first step
in educating today's atmospheric scientists.
Audience:
Meteorology students (advanced undergraduate and graduate levels)
