Synoptic-Dynamic Meteorology in Midlatitudes: Volume II: Observations and Theory of Weather Systems (Hardcover, New)

* The second volume in this, the first modern text in synoptic meteorology * Essential information for modern weather forecasting presented for the first time * A major new resource for students

This major, new comprehensive text for meteorology students presents information that is now considered essential in modern weather forecasting for the first time. Drawing on teaching materials from his successful work at the University of Oklahoma, Bluestein examines the elementary phenomena of synoptic meteorology, from scalar fields to atmospheric kinematics, dynamics, and thermodynamics. This is the only up-to-date and comprehensive account of synoptic meteorology availale today. Volume I is already pulished and covers kinematics, elementary atmospheric dynamics and thermodynamics, and the principles of quasi-geostrophic theory; This second volume covers the formation, motion, and climatology of extratropical weather systems in the context of quasi-geostrophic theory and "IPV thinking", the formation and structure of fronts and jets, applications of semi-geostrophic theory, and the observed structure and dynamics of precipitation systems in midlatitudes.
