An Introduction to Dynamic Meteorology by J R Holton

An Introduction to Dynamic Meteorology by J R Holton

This book 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 and features a new chapter on mesoscale dynamics. In addition, the text includes updated treatments of climate dynamics, tropical meteorology, middle atmosphere dynamics, and numerical prediction. Features: * and Benefits: * Presents a cogent explanation of the fundamentals of meteorology. * Explains storm dynamics for weather oriented meteorologists. * Discusses climate dynamics and the implications posed for global change. * Features a new chapter on mesoscale dynamics. * Includes treatments of climate dynamics, tropical meteorology, middle atmosphere dynamics, and numerical prediction.

From 2e reviews:'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)
