An Introduction to Dynamic Meteorology

International Geophysics #88

by J.R. Holton

This revised text presents a cogent explanation of the fundamentals of meteorology, and explains storm dynamics for weather-oriented meteorologists. It discusses climate dynamics and the implications posed for global change. The Fourth Edition features a CD-ROM with MATLAB exercises and updated treatments of several key topics. Much of the material is based on a two-term course for seniors majoring in atmospheric sciences.

* Provides clear physical explanations of key dynamical principles
* Contains a wealth of illustrations to elucidate text and equations, plus end-of-chapter problems
* Holton is one of the leading authorities in contemporary meteorology, and well known for his clear writing style
* Instructor's Manual available to adopters

NEW IN THIS EDITION
* A CD-ROM with MATLAB exercises and demonstrations
* Updated treatments on climate dynamics, tropical meteorology, middle atmosphere dynamics, and numerical prediction

I hate you so much, book.

[Adam Leon · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book helped a lot with learning Dynamics in practical terms. Always wanted to go for a math degree but was too scared to dedicate my life to something only five other people in the world would understand. This book helped me figure out all the math needed for Ringworld space mega structure physics.

Dense but useful.

I know I know this is essential to my field but good God is it dense and dry.
