"In terms of both content and appearance, this title has been completely revamped from the first edition.
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."
--Bulletin

"Wallace and Hobbs' classic text has been completely updated in content and appearance...Qualitative
and numerical exercises are included to reinforce learning, and biographical footnotes summarize the work of key scientists and the history
of meteorology. The exercises and lessons are accompanied by full-color illustrations, satellite images, and ground-based photos."
