<p>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 is based on a two-term course for seniors majoring in atmospheric sciences.</p> <p>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. The new edition has added a companion website with MATLAB exercises and updated treatments of several key topics.</p><br><br><ul><li>Provides clear physical explanations of key dynamical principles</li><li>Contains a wealth of illustrations to elucidate text and equations, plus end-of-chapter problems</li><li>Holton is one of the leading authorities in contemporary meteorology, and well known for his clear writing style</li><li>Instructor's Manual available to adopters</li></ul> <p>NEW IN THIS EDITION</p> <ul><li>A companion website with MATLAB® exercises and demonstrations</li><li>Updated treatments on climate dynamics, tropical meteorology, middle atmosphere dynamics, and numerical prediction</li></ul>
