During the past decade the science of dynamic meteorology has continued its rapid advance. The scope of dynamic meteorology has broadened considerably. Much of the material included in this text is based on a two-term course sequence for seniors majoring in atmospheric sciences.This book presents a cogent explanation of the fundamentals of meteorology and explains storm dynamics for weather-oriented meteorologists. It discusses climate dynamics and the implications posed for global change and f..eatures a new chapter on mesoscale dynamics. In addition, the text includes updated treatments of climate dynamics, tropical meteorology, middle atmosphere dynamics, and numerical prediction.
