Lectures in Meteorology is a comprehensive reference book for
meteorologists and environmental scientists to look up material on
the thermodynamics, dynamics and chemistry of the troposphere. The
lectures demonstrate how to derive/develop equations - an essential
tool for model development. All chapters present applications of
the material including numerical models. The lectures are written
in modular form, i.e. they can be used at the undergraduate level
for classes covered by the chapters or at the graduate level as a
comprehensive, intensive course. The student/instructor can address
chapters 2 (thermodynamics) and 4 (radiation) in any order. They
can also switch the order of chapter 5 (chemistry) and 6
(dynamics). Chapter 7 (climatology and climate) requires an
understanding of all chapters. Chapter 3 (cloud physics) needs
basics from chapter 2 to understand the cloud microphysical
processes. The governing conservation equations for trace
constituents, dry air, water substances, total mass, energy,
entropy and momentum are presented, including simplifications and
their application in models. A brief introduction to atmospheric
boundary layer processes is presented as well. Basic principles of
climatology discussed include analysis methods, atmospheric waves
and their analytical solutions, tropical and extra-tropical
cyclones, classical and non-classical mesoscale circulations, and
the global circulation. The atmospheric chemistry section
encompasses photolytic and gas-phase processes, aqueous chemistry,
aerosol processes, fundamentals of biogeochemical cycles and the
ozone layer. Solar and terrestrial radiation; major absorber;
radiation balance; radiative equilibrium; radiative-convective
equilibrium; and basics of molecular, aerosol and cloud adsorption
and scattering and their use in remote sensing are also presented.
