This up-to-date textbook is highly recommended for introductory
courses offered at undergraduate and graduate levels. Coverage
begins with basic fluid and thermodynamical laws and concepts, then
moves on to cover such major topics as momentum and heat exchanges
with homogeneous surfaces, nonhomogeneous boundary layers,
fundamentals of turbulence, and more. This book introduces the
reader to theoretical concepts and quantitative relations through
qualitative descriptions based upon observations.
The book is organized in the form of fifteen chapters, arranged in
order of increasing complexity.
Energy Budget near the Surface
Radiation Balance near the Surface
Soil Temperatures and Heat Transfer
Air Temperature and Humidity in the PBL
Wind Distribution in the PBL
An Introduction to Viscous Flows
Fundamentals of Turbulence
Semiempirical Theories of Turbulence
Neutral Boundary Layers

James I.N. Introduction to Circulating Atmospheres
Cambridge University Press, 1995, 422 Pages This book gives an account of the modern view of the global circulation of the atmosphere. It accounts for the observed nature of the circulation and theories and simple models of the mechanisms that drive it. Early chapters concentrate on the classical view of the global circulation, on the processes that generate atmospheric motions, and on the dynamical constraints that modify them. Later chapters...

Randall D.A. An introduction to the general circulation of the atmosphere
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...
