This book is designed as an introductory course in Tropical
Meteorology for the graduate or advanced level undergraduate
student. The material within can be covered in a one-semester
course program. The text starts from the global scale-view of the
Tropics, addressing the zonally symmetric and asymmetric features
of the tropical circulation. It then goes on to progressively
smaller spatial and time scales - from the El Nino Southern
Oscillation and the Asian Monsoon, down to tropical waves,
hurricanes, sea breezes, and tropical squall lines. The emphasis in
most chapters is on the observational aspects of the phenomenon in
question, the theories regarding its nature and maintenance, and
the approaches to its numerical modeling. The concept of scale
interactions is also presented as a way of gaining insight into the
generation and redistribution of energy for the maintenance of
oscillations of a variety of spatial and temporal scales.
