Description
This book focuses on the dynamics of clouds and of precipitating mesoscale meteorological systems. Clouds and precipitating mesoscale
systems represent some of the most important and scientifically exciting weather systems in the world. These are the systems that produce
torrential rains, severe winds including downburst and tornadoes, hail, thunder and lightning, and major snow storms. Forecasting such
storms represents a major challenge since they are too small to be adequately resolved by conventional observing networks and numerical
prediction models.
