Applied Atmospheric Dynamics (PDF)

The weather can be a cause of disruption, despair and even danger
everywhere around the world at one time or another. Even when
benign it is a source of constant fascination. Applied
Atmospheric Dynamics connects this interest with the
theoretical underpinnings of fluid dynamics; linking real physical
events as diverse as Hurricane Katrina and the strong katabatic
winds of Antarctica, with quantitative conceptual models of
atmospheric behaviour.

Assuming only basic calculus the book provides a physical basis for
understanding atmospheric motions around the globe as well as
detailing the advances that have led to a greater understanding of
weather and climate.

The accompanying supplementary CD-ROM features colour
graphics, maps, databases, animations, project materials, as well
as weather data tips.

* Covers the standard theoretical principles of atmospheric
dynamics and applies the theory to global real world examples

* Assumes only non-vector based calculus

* Features supplementary CD-ROM with electronic versions of all
figures, case study data and possible term projects

* An invaluable text for students of Meteorology, Atmospheric
Science, Geography and Environmental Science
