'Dynamic Meteorology: A Basic Course' is an introduction to the
physics of the atmosphere. Starting from the basics, it provides
students with an awareness of simple mathematics and
enthusiastically proceeds to provide a thorough grounding in the
fundamentals of meteorology. The authors lead students to a
scientifically rigorous understanding of the behaviour of weather
systems such as highs, lows, fronts, jet streams and tropical
cyclones. From the 'ABC' of the laws of Avogrado, Boyle and Charles
to the powerful omega equation and beyond, this is a simple
exposition of dynamic meteorology. Why does the wind blow along the
lines of isobars rather than across them? Why are low pressure
systems on the weather map more intense than high-pressure systems?
Why is there much less constraint on the strength of the wind
around a cyclone than an anticyclone? An international team of
academic experts in meteorology answer these and many other
fundamental questions with simple mathematical equations. Covering
both northern and southern hemispheres, 'Dynamic Meteorology'
equips students of earth and environmental sciences with proper
understanding of the essential mathematics necessary to unlock the
mysteries of the natural world.
