DESCRIPTION:
"An excellent monograph by a leading atmospheric scientistwill be consulted by everyone interested in the complexities of dynamical meteorology and in the improvement of practical methods of climate and weather prediction."--Physics Today"Exceptionally interesting.Stimulating.Moist convection is not easy to characterize by models that can be analyzed analytically and yet illuminate essential physical mechanisms. The clear layout of the text and the favorable selection of the illustrations should also be emphasizedUseful not only for students but for professionals as well. Its orientation toward conceptual models also makes it particularly useful for and accessible to researchers in areas such as climate dynamics.Makes a nice (and affordable) textbook on atmospheric convection for mathematically inclined advanced graduate students and it
These range from small-scale, convectively driven turbulences in the boundary layer to precipitating systems covering many thousands of square kilometers. Part III explores the characteristics of individual convective clouds, thunderstorms, squall lines, mesoscale convective systems, and slantwise convection. The text introduces the principal techniques used in understanding and predicting convective motion: theory, field experiment, and numerical modelling. Each chapter is followed by a set of exe
Bad quality of the hardcover edition This review is not about the book (is an excellent an unique textbook about convection by one of the most important researchers in the subject nowadays). I want to point the bad quality of the hardcover, being a really expensive book is not acceptable that after a very light use the cover detached from the book. I attach a picture to show.
