Mid-Latitude Atmospheric Dynamics: A First Course


Product Description
This exciting text provides a mathematically rigorous yet accessible textbook that is primarily aimed at atmospheric science majors. Its accessibility is due to the texts emphasis on conceptual understanding.The first five chapters constitute a companion text to introductory courses covering the dynamics of the mid-latitude atmosphere. The final four chapters constitute a more advanced course, and provide insights into the diagnostic power of the quasi-geostrophic approximation of the equations outlined in the previous chapters, the meso-scale dynamics of thefrontal zone, the alternative PV perspective for cyclone interpretation, and the dynamics of the life-cycle of mid-latitude cyclones.
- Written in a clear and accessible style
- Features real weather examples and global case studies
- Each chapter sets out clear learning objectives and tests students �� knowledge with concluding questions and answers
A Solutions Manual is also available for this textbook on the� Instructor Companion Site www.wileyeurope.com/college/martin.

� � a student-friendly yet rigorous textbook that accomplishes what no other textbook has done before� I highly recommend this textbook. For instructors, this is a great book if they don’t have their own class notes � one can teach straight from the book. And for students, this is a great book if they don � t take good class notes � one can learn straight from the book. This is a rare attribute of advanced textbooks. ��

Mid-Latitude Atmospheric Dynamics: A First Course Review
I purchased this book to supplement my required Holton book. This book does a much better job of explaining what dynamics are happening rather than throwing endless formulae at you and not explaining them well.Most of the consumer Reviews tell that the "Mid-Latitude Atmospheric Dynamics: A First Course" are high quality item.
