Wallace and Hobbs' original edition of "Atmospheric Science" helped
define the field nearly 30 years ago, and has served as the
cornerstone for most university curriculums. Now students and
professionals alike can use this updated classic to understand
atmospheric phenomena in the context of the latest discoveries and
technologies, and prepare themselves for more advanced study and
real-life problem solving.
Atmospheric Science, Second Edition, has been completely revamped
in terms of content and appearance. It contains new chapters on
atmospheric chemistry, the Earth system, climate, and the
atmospheric boundary layer, as well as enhanced treatment of
atmospheric dynamics, weather forecasting, radiative transfer,

authors illustrate concepts with colorful state-of-the-art imagery
and cover a vast amount of new information in the field. They have

the text.
