| adam_text | Mid-Latitude Atmospheric
Dynamics:
A First Course provides an introduction to the
physical and mathematical description of mid-latitude atmospheric dynamics and its
application to the diagnosis of
extratropical
cyclones. Requiring a background in
physics and calculus but no prior knowledge of meteorology, this student-friendly
text places the emphasis on conceptual understanding.
Written in a conversational tone, this text is an
ideal companion for a first course in the subject,
delving into greater depth as the book, and the
student, progresses. Real weather examples are
woven through the more mathematically focused
early chapters, while later chapters introduce a
range of case-studies from around the globe to
illustrate theoretical and phenomenological aspects
of the mid-latitude cyclone life cycle.
