This book presents a current review of the science of monsoon
research and forecasting. The contents are based on the invited
reviews presented at the World Meteorological Organization's Fourth
Inteational Workshop on Monsoons in late 2008, with subsequent
manuscripts revised from 2009 to early 2010. The book builds on the
concept that the monsoons in various parts of the globe can be
viewed as components of an integrated global monsoon system, while
emphasizing that significant region-specific characteristics are
present in individual monsoon regions. The topics covered include
all major monsoon regions and time scales (mesoscale, synoptic,
intraseasonal, interannual, decadal, and climate change). It is
intended to provide an updated comprehensive review of the current
status of knowledge, modeling capability, and future directions in
the research of monsoon systems around the world.

Battarbee R.W., Binney H.A. (Eds.) Natural Climate Variability and Global Warming: A Holocene Perspective
Wilеy-Blаckwell, 2008, 276 pages Whilst there is now overwhelming evidence that greenhouse-gas pollution is becoming the dominant process responsible for global warming, it is also clear that the climate system varies quite naturally on different time-scales. Predicting the course of future climate change consequently requires an understanding of the natural variability of the climate system as well as the effects of human-induced change. This...
Enting I.G. Inverse Problems in Atmospheric Constituent Transport
Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, New York, 2002, 410 pp. - ISBN-13 978-0-521-81210-8 The critical role of trace gases in global atmospheric change makes an improved understanding of these gases imperative. Measurements of the distributions of these gases in space and time provide important information, but the interpretation of this information often involves ill-conditioned model inversions. Various techniques have therefore been developed...
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...

Wilks D.S. Statistical Methods in the Atmospheric Sciences
Academic Press, 2011. - 704 pages. 3rd Edition Fundamentally, statistics is concerned with managing data and making inferences and forecasts in the face of uncertainty. It should not be surprising, therefore, that statistical methods have a key role to play in the atmospheric sciences. It is the uncertainty in atmospheric behavior that continues to move research forward and drive innovations in atmospheric modeling and prediction. This revise...
