Cloud Dynamics by Robert A Houze

Clouds play a critical role in the Earth's climate, general atmospheric circulation, and global water balance. This work provides an examination of the nature of clouds - what they look like and why, how scientists observe them, and the basic dynamics and physics that underlie them. It also describes the mechanics governing each type of cloud.
The focus of this book is on the air motions associated with cloudsThe complex interaction between the microphysical processes in the clouds and the dynamics is a theme throughout the text. It provides a comprehensive summary of the current understanding of this highly complex field...This book gives a comprehensive summary of the dynamics associated with clouds in the atmosphere...The book reads easily and is well structured. As such, I believe it will be an excellent text for a graduate course on the subject. --AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY
