An Introduction to Dynamic Meteorology James R. Holton

Description: About this productProduct InformationAn Introduction to Dynamic Meteorology, Fourth Edition presents a cogent explanation of the fundamentals of meteorology, and explains storm dynamics for weather-oriented meteorologists. This revised edition features updated treatments on climate dynamics, tropical meteorology, middle atmosphere dynamics, and numerical prediction. It contains a wealth of illustrations to elucidate text and equations, plus end-of-chapter problems. This book is recommended for senior and graduate students in meteorology and atmospheric science, as well as atmospheric scientists desiring a broad overview of dynamical meteorology.Product IdentifiersPublisherElsevier Science & TechnologyISBN-100123540151ISBN-139780123540157eBay Product ID (ePID)30202007Product Key FeaturesFormatHardcoverPublication Year2004LanguageEnglishDimensionsWeight35.3 OzWidth6in.Length9in.Additional Product FeaturesDewey Edition22Table of Content1.
