Mesoscale Dynamics PDF
by Yuh-Lang Lin
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.
