Reviews / Votes

'Simpson's crisp written style and unparalleled knowledge of all aspects of sea breezes enables us to see the atmosphere with new eyes.' New Scientist 'The book is very well finished. Its coverage, written style and good use of illustrative material make it appealing to both the non-specialist meteorologist and the lay reader.' Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society 'The book has no competitors. It may be recommended to both the general reader and the professional meteorologist with an interest in, or problem related to, sea breeze.' Deborah J. Abbs, World Meteorological Organization Bulletin '... good and well-edited ... It fills a gap as a comparable volume is presently not available on the market.' Meteorolgische Zeitschrift 'His passion for the subject is infectious ...Researchers, in particular, may find the book a motivating reminder of the challenge in modelling the complexity and diversity of gravity currents in the real world.' Journal of Fluid Mechanics 'It is not every specialist who can convey his specialism to the general reader, but the author succeeds well and the book is surely destined to become and remain a leading volume on this specialised but most interesting field ... deserves a place in every meterological library and on the bookshelves of any individual for whom this is a topic of special interest.'
