Summary

Presents a cogent explanation of the fundamentals of meteorology, and explains storm dynamics for weather-oriented meteorologists. This book discusses climate dynamics and the implications posed for global change. It also provides a treatment on climate dynamics, tropical meteorology, middle atmosphere dynamics, and numerical prediction.

An Introduction to Dynamic Meteorology Summary

An Introduction to Dynamic Meteorology: Volume 88 by James R. Holton (University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA)

An Introduction to Dynamic Meteorology, Fourth Edition presents a cogent explanation of the fundamentals of meteorology, and explains storm dynamics for weather-oriented meteorologists. This revised edition features updated treatments on climate dynamics, tropical meteorology, middle atmosphere dynamics, and numerical prediction. It contains a wealth of illustrations to elucidate text and equations, plus end-of-chapter problems. This book is recommended for senior and graduate students in meteorology and atmospheric science, as well as atmospheric scientists desiring a broad overview of dynamical meteorology.

An Introduction to Dynamic Meteorology Reviews

The book is very clearly and well written...the author succeeds in presenting the fundamentals while providing a motivating discussion on the full scope of dynamic meteorology and its applications. --Jorg Matschullat, Interdisciplinary Environmental Research Center, in ENVIRONMENTAL GEOLOGY, VOL. 49, MARCH 2006 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
