The objective of this book is to discuss our present understanding
of atmospheric electricity at Earth and on the other planets of our
solar system. The book is organized into chapter which are
Introduction, Ionisation processes in Planetary Atmospheres,
Measurements and effects of thunderstorms and lightning, New
missions, Hazards and atmospheric effects, Charging formation,
Electromagnetic signature of discharge in the atmosphere. The book
is organized in order to openly discuss of all issues related to
atmospheric electricity applied to our solar system planets. Part
of the contrinutors are experts of atmospheric electricity who will
describe the present understanding of this phenomena at the Earth
and another part correspond to experts of planetary science working
either on instrument developments aiming to observe the atmospheric
electricity on other planets or on theoretical models of planetary
atmospheric electricity.

University of Washington Seattle, Second Edition, Academic Press, New York, London, 1980, 449 pp. - ISBN 0-12-260355-9 This book is addressed to those who wish to understand the relationship between atmospheric phenomena and the nature of matter as expressed in the principles of physics. The interesting atmospheric phenomena are more than applications of gravitation, of thermodynamics, of hydrodynamics, or of electrodynamics; and mastery of the r...
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...

University Of Colorado Boulder, Academic Press, New York, London, 1996, 649 pp. - ISBN-13: 978-0-12-615160-2 Global satellite observations coupled with increasingly sophisticated computer simulation have led to rapid advances in our understanding of the atmosphere. While opening many doors, these tools have also raised new and increasingly complex questions about atmospheric behavior. At the same time, environmental issues have brought atmospheri...

(Advances in Geophysics, Volume 29) Academic Press, Orlando, New York, London, 1986, 477 pp. - ISBN 0-12-018829-5 It has been our custom occasionally to devote a single volume of Advances in Geophysics to a special topic of timely interest. In the present volume we consider the rapidly growing subject of low-frequency weather variability. This variability is exemplified by the persistence of certain large-scale "anomalous" features of the atmosph...
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...
