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,
severe storms, and human impacts, such as global warming. The
authors illustrate concepts with colorful state-of-the-art imagery
and cover a vast amount of new information in the field. They have
also developed several online materials for instructors who adopt
the text.
With its thorough coverage of the fundamentals, clear explanations,
and extensive updates, Wallace & Hobbs' Atmospheric Science,
Second Edition, is the essential first step in educating today's
atmospheric scientists.
* Full-color satellite imagery and cloud photographs illustrate
principles throughout
* Extensive numerical and qualitative exercises emphasize the
application of basic physical principles to problems in the
atmospheric sciences
* Biographical footnotes summarize the lives and work of scientists
mentioned in the text, and provide students with a sense of the
long history of meteorology
* Companion website encourages more advanced exploration of text
topics: supplementaryinformation, images, and bonus exercises
An engaging, comprehensive, richly illustrated textbook about the
atmospheric general circulation, written by leading researchers in
the field. The book elucidates the pervasive role of atmospheric
dynamics in the Earth System, interprets the structure and
evolution of atmospheric motions across a range of space and time
scales in terms of fundamental theoretical principles, and includes
relevant historical background and tutorials on research
methodology. The book includes over 300 exercises and is
accompanied by extensive online resources, including solutions
manuals, an animations library, and an introduction to online
visualization and analysis tools. This textbook is suitable as a
textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate level courses in
atmospheric sciences and geosciences curricula and as a reference
textbook for researchers.
In the early 1800's Franny at nineteen inherits a small ten acre
farm from her older brother, and encourged by a newly found
girlfriend that she could better support herself by having parties
in her house rather than farming the land. Her naivety, boldness
and independence allowed her to bear and raise five Children,
encounter and subdue murderers, have shoot-outs with unsavory
characters while trying to maintin the reputation of a fine
upstanding citizen to the county's residents.
