Meteorology for Scientist and Engineers

The indispensable reference text for any serious student of meteorology, Roland Stull's METEOROLOGY FOR SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS is now available in a Third Edition. This text is equally appropriate as the main text for an introductory course for science/atmospheric science majors, a reference for all science students, or as the technical companion to Ahrens' METEOROLOGY TODAY (Thomson Wadsworth, (c)2003). Stull provides an applied and quantitative overview of the field of meteorology, using numerous simplified, or "toy," models. METEOROLOGY FOR SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS demonstrates how to use mathematical equations (algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and finite differential equations) to explain the dominant characteristics of certain atmospheric phenomena and processes. Significant updates to key appendices and chapters-including an all NEW chapter on Observations and Weather Maps-keep this text on the cutting-edge of meteorological research.
