Mid-Latitude Atmospheric Dynamics Av Jonathan E. (University Of Wisconsin-Madison Usa) Martin

This exciting text provides a mathematically rigorous yet accessible textbook that is primarily aimed at atmospheric science majors. Its accessibility is due to the texts emphasis on conceptual understanding. <p>The first five chapters constitute a companion text to introductory courses covering the dynamics of the mid-latitude atmosphere. The final four chapters constitute a more advanced course, and provide insights into the diagnostic power of the quasi-geostrophic approximation of the equations outlined in the previous chapters, the meso-scale dynamics of thefrontal zone, the alternative PV perspective for cyclone interpretation, and the dynamics of the life-cycle of mid-latitude cyclones.</p><ul><li>Written in a clear and accessible style</li><li>Features real weather examples and global case studies</li><li>Each chapter sets out clear learning objectives and tests students¿ knowledge with concluding questions and answers</li></ul><p>A Solutions Manual is also available for this t
