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.
