Description
This revised text presents a cogent explanation of the fundamentals of meteorology, and explains storm dynamics for weather-oriented meteorologists.
It discusses climate dynamics and the implications posed for global change. The Fourth Edition features a CD-ROM with MATLAB? exercises
and updated treatments of several key topics. Much of the material is based on a two-term course for seniors majoring in atmospheric
sciences.
Audience
Senior and Graduate Students in Meteorology and Atmospheric Science, as well as atmospheric scientists desiring a broad overview of dynamical meteorology.
