An Introduction to Dynamic Meteorology (The International Geophysics Series, Vol 88)

From Book News, Inc.
A textbook for a two-term course in physical meteorology for seniors or first-year graduates. The emphasis is on physical principles rather than mathematical elegance. Updated from the previous editions (1972, 1979) with new treatments of tropical meteorology, middle atmosphere and mesoscale dynamics, global climate changes, and other topics. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.


Review
Praise for previous edition:

...reflects the full scope of modern dynamic meteorology, while providing a presentation of the fundamentals. BULLETIN AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY

The careful presentation of introductory material and clear discussion of dynamical principles make this an excellent basic account of dynamical meteorology. JOURNAL OF FLUID MECHANICS

Book Description
This revised text 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. The Fourth Edition features a CD-ROM with MATLAB® exercises and updated treatments of several key topics. Much of the material is based on a two-term course for seniors majoring in atmospheric sciences.

* Provides clear physical explanations of key dynamical principles
* Contains a wealth of illustrations to elucidate text and equations, plus end-of-chapter problems
* Holton is one of the leading authorities in contemporary meteorology, and well known for his clear writing style
* Instructors Manual available to adopters

NEW IN THIS EDITION
* A CD-ROM with MATLAB® exercises and demonstrations
* Updated treatments on climate dynamics, tropical meteorology, middle atmosphere dynamics, and numerical prediction
