Mesoscale weather systems are responsible for numerous natural
disasters, such as damaging winds, blizzards and flash flooding. A
fundamental understanding of the underlying dynamics involved in
these weather systems is essential in forecasting their occurrence.
This 2007 book provides a systematic approach to this subject. The
opening chapters introduce the basic equations governing mesoscale
weather systems and their approximations. The subsequent chapters
cover four major areas of mesoscale dynamics: wave dynamics, moist
convection, front dynamics and mesoscale modelling. This is an
ideal book on the subject for researchers in meteorology and
atmospheric science. With over 100 problems, and password-protected
solutions available to instructors at
www.cambridge.org/9780521808750, this book could also serve as a
textbook for graduate students. Modelling projects, providing
hands-on practice for building simple models of stratified fluid
flow from a one-dimensional advection equation, are also described.
