An Introduction to Dynamic Meteorology

An Introduction to Dynamic Meteorology, Sixth Edition, Volume 88 is the latest release in this gold standard for generations of meteorologists who use it as a textbook and reference in their careers. This updated edition reflects the latest research in the field, providing a cogent explanation of the fundamentals of meteorology and an explanation of storm dynamics for weather-oriented meteorologists. The first seven chapters lay the foundation for the study of atmospheric dynamics, with the latter chapters covering more advanced material, ENSO, seasonal dynamics, climate dynamics, and in this new edition, weather-ocean dynamics.

• Presents all-new chapters on weather/ocean dynamics
• Includes new sections on the Helmholtz decomposition and Hadley cell theory
• Provides clear physical explanations of key dynamical principles
• Contains a wealth of illustrations to elucidate text and equations, plus end-of-chapter problems
