"Cotton and Anthes's Storm and Cloud Dynamics, Volume 44 of the International Geophysics Series, is perfectly timed to provide an up-to-date and authoritative overview of clouds. The scope of the work is ambitious: a description of the physics and dynamics of all clouds in the terrestrial troposphere. Their emphasis on mesoscale phenomena and on the bulk description of physical processes reflects their perspective and expertise as mesoscale numerical modelers...The book is well-produced, consistent with the excellent standards of Academic Press. The chapter references total over 1500 entries (including duplicates) with more than a third from the 1980's. Thus the book provides us with a current survey of the field...The book should appeal to the cloud microphysicist, boundary layer meteorologist, cloud dynamiscist, forecaster, synoptician, nesoscale numerical modeler, climate dynamicist, and theoretician. Each will have his/her knowledge broadened by the juxtaposition of topics and perspectives that this book brings to its subject. In summary, this book is well recommended: it will serve for many years as an indispensable introduction to the vast literature on storms and clouds."

"This book is very timely; it is also detailed, relatively comprehensive, quantitative, and theoretical. The reader will have no problem in finding equations describing the many physical problems involving cloud dynamics. The authors are adept at describing the applications of the equations and speculating about the reason things happen the way they do in clouds and storm systems....The authors draw upon studies by their colleagues and students as well as their own long experience in this field and have produced a comprehensive review rather than a textbook....Their book will be of great assistance to anyone working in the fascinating, rapidly evolving field of storm and cloud dynamics and will be of fundamental importance for studies of
