An Introduction to Dynamic Meteorology, 5th Edition
Year: 2012 Language: english Author: James R. Holton, Gregory J. Hakim Genre: Manual Publisher: Academic Press Edition: 5th ISBN: 9780123848666 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 482 Description: Dynamic meteorology is the study of motions in the Earth’s atmosphere, associated with weather and climate. These motions organize into structured circulation features with visible and measurable effects on wind, temperature, clouds, and precipitation patterns. In recent years dynamic meteorology has made great progress and has greatly increased its scope. This fifth edition of a fundamental textbook presents a clear explanation of the key dynamical principles of meteorology and storm dynamics, discusses climate dynamics and global change, and contains end-of-chapter problems. The book is aimed to undergraduate and graduate students in the atmospheric sciences, practitioners in the field, and those who want a definitive, and accessible, introduction to the subject matter. Chapters 1 - 4 deal with fundamentals, chapter 5 is on atmosphere's oscillations and perturbation theory. Chapters 6 - 8 discuss quasi-geostrophic analysis, turbulence and stability, while chapters 9 - 12 are on general and particular circulation(s).
