Reviews

@qu:"The book is nicely illustrated and contains most of what an undergraduate student needs to satisfy his/her curiosity about atmospheric principles (provided that mathematics is a subject of love and not of anxieties) before embarking on other marine topics of more focussed choice." @source:--METEOROLOGY AND ATMOSPHERIC PHYSICS
