Description

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.
