Martin, Jonathan E. Mid-Latitude Atmospheric Dynamics. A First Course

University of Washington Seattle, Second Edition, Academic Press, New York, London, 1980, 449 pp. - ISBN 0-12-260355-9 This book is addressed to those who wish to understand the relationship between atmospheric phenomena and the nature of matter as expressed in the principles of physics. The interesting atmospheric phenomena are more than applications of gravitation, of thermodynamics, of hydrodynamics, or of electrodynamics; and mastery of the r...

Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2006, 533 pp. - ISBN-13: 978-1-4051-2357-0 In almost all of the scientific journals where data from field measurements are presented, it is the results, and how they have advanced our understanding of our complex workings of the atmosphere, that have received the most attention. We must not forget, however, that the instruments making the measurements are themselves state-of-the-art and highly specialised, having been fi...

Fourth edition. Elsevier Academic Press, 2004. This revised text 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. Much of the material is based on a two-term course for seniors majoring in atmospheric sciences.

Название: Dynamics in Atmospheric Physics by Richard S. Lindzen. Издательство: Cambridge University Press. Год: 1993. ISBN-0521018218. The following notes have been the basis for an introductory course in atmospheric dynamics which has been taught at Harvard and M.I.T. for the past seven years. The book is intended as a text for first year graduate students in the atmospheric sciences. Although the material in the book is self contained, a fam...

University of Oxford, UK, World Scientific Publ., Singapore, London, 2001, 507 pp. - ISBN 981-02-4566-1 Atmospheric science involves three main sub-disciplines: radiation, chemistry, and dynamics. Many books have been written about each of these, and non-LTE (we shall come in a moment to what it means) plays a part in most of them. However, no book exists which deals primarily with non-LTE, and this has become a serious omission. It is now realis...

Dynamics of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. The Hurricane-Climate Connection. Transport and mixing of atmospheric pollutants. Extreme Rain Events in Mid-latitudes. Dynamics of Hydro-meteorological and Environmental hazards. Tsunami Modelling and Forecasting Techniques. Rogu...

Cambridge University Press, 2009. This textbook presents a uniquely integrated approach in linking both physics and chemistry to the study of atmospheric thermodynamics. The book explains the classical laws of thermodynamics, focuses on various fluid systems, and, recognizing the increasing importance of chemistry in the meteorological and climate sciences, devotes a chapter to chemical thermodynamics which includes an overview of photochemistry....

Colorado State University, US, E-edition by D.Randall, 2005, 522 pp. This is an introductory course on the general circulation of the atmosphere, a subject that is closely tied to atmospheric dynamics. A course on dynamics tends to focus on basic physical concepts and methods for their analysis, however, while a course on the general circulation must focus on what the atmosphere actually does, and why. Graduate-level studies in atmospheric dynami...

University Of Colorado Boulder, Academic Press, New York, London, 1996, 649 pp. - ISBN-13: 978-0-12-615160-2 Global satellite observations coupled with increasingly sophisticated computer simulation have led to rapid advances in our understanding of the atmosphere. While opening many doors, these tools have also raised new and increasingly complex questions about atmospheric behavior. At the same time, environmental issues have brought atmospheri...

Second Edition, University of Washington, Academic Press, Amsterdam, London, New York, 2006, 505 pp. – ISBN 13: 978-0-12-732951-2 In the 30 years that have passed since we embarked on the first edition of this book, atmospheric science has developed into a major field of study with far-reaching scientific and societal implications. Topics such as climate and atmospheric chemistry, which were not deemed sufficiently important to warrant chapters o...
