Holton, James R. An Introduction to Dynamic Meteorology

Wiley-VCH, Verlag GmbH, Weinheim, 2006, 479 pp. - ISBN: 3-527-40503-8 Like so many textbooks, this one has its origins in the classroom, the fruit of more than 30 years of combined experience teaching courses on atmospheric radiation to graduate and undergraduate students of meteorology. This experience has forced us to recognize that most of our students do not adequately understand the fundamentals of electromagnetic radiation and its interacti...

Cambridge University Press, 2004.- 248 p. Air-Sea Interaction: Laws and Mechanisms provides a comprehensive account of how the atmosphere and the ocean interact to control the global climate, what physical laws govern this interaction, and what are its prominent mechanisms. In recent years, air-sea interaction has emerged as a subject in its own right, encompassing small- and large-scale processes in both air and sea. A novel feature of the book...

McGraw-Hill Professional, 2005. - 323 pages. From showers to hurricanes, from heat waves to global warming, weather and climate are important not only to budding meteorologists but also to those in the fields of aviation, earth science, and the environment. In Meteorology Demystified, best-selling author Stan Gibilisco, writing with his usual entertaining and informative style and flair, provides a complete foundation of essential physical and s...

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...

Springer, 2008, 416 pages This textbook describes various physical, radiative, dynamical and chemical processes involved in the coupling between the Stratosphere and Troposphere. This textbook is intended for graduate students in middle atmosphere stratospheric physics, dynamic and atmospheric science courses and will be useful to all research workers in meteorology, aeronomy, atmospheric physics, atmospheric chemistry and environmental scienc...

John Wiley and Sons; Inc., 2003. – 998 pages. One of two major purposes of the Handbook is to provide an up-to-date accounting of the sciences that underlie these important societal issues, so that both citizens and decision makers can understand the scientific foundation critical to the process of making informed decisions. To achieve this goal, we commissioned overview chapters on the eight major topics that comprise the Handbook: Dynamics, Cl...

Cambridge University Press, 2007, 187 pages This is a self-contained, concise, rigorous book introducing the reader to the basics of atmospheric thermodynamics, and the author is a highly respected researcher in this field. This new edition has been brought completely up to date and reorganized to improve the quality and flow of the material. Each chapter contains worked examples and student exercises, making this an ideal text for short undergr...

World Climate Research Programme, International Association For Meteorology And Atmospheric Physics, Radiation Commission, 1986, WCP – 112, WMO/TD-No. 24, 60pp. McClatchey R.A., Shettle E., Fenn R., et al. For radiation computations there is a twofold demand for standardized models: First, to test and to intercompare radiation transfer algorithms, and Second, to compute the radiation terms for sensitivity studies in climate research. For the firs...

Cambridg University Press. , 2003, 793 p. Dynamics of the Atmosphere is a textbook with numerous exercises and solutions, written for senior undergraduate and graduate students of meteorology and related sciences. It may also be used as a reference source by professional meteorologists and researchers in atmospheric science. In order to encourage the reader to follow the mathematical developments in detail, the derivations are complete and leave...

Cambridg University Press. , 2007, 498 p. This book presents the theory and applications of radiative transfer in the atmosphere. It is written for graduate students and researchers in the fields of meteorology and related sciences. The book begins with important basic definitions of the radiative transfer theory. It presents the hydrodynamic derivation of the radiative transfer equation and the principles of invariance. The authors examine in de...
