Description
This book 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 and features a new chapter on mesoscale dynamics. In addition, the text includes updated treatments of climate dynamics, tropical meteorology, middle atmosphere dynamics, and numerical prediction.
