Description
'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.
