The weather can be a cause of disruption, despair and even danger
everywhere around the world at one time or another. Even when
benign it is a source of constant fascination. Applied
Atmospheric Dynamics connects this interest with the
theoretical underpinnings of fluid dynamics; linking real physical
events as diverse as Hurricane Katrina and the strong katabatic
winds of Antarctica, with quantitative conceptual models of
atmospheric behaviour.
Assuming only basic calculus the book provides a physical basis for understanding atmospheric motions around the globe as well as detailing the advances that have led to a greater understanding of weather and climate.
The accompanying supplementary CD-ROM features colour graphics, maps, databases, animations, project materials, as well as weather data tips.

- Covers the standard theoretical principles of atmospheric dynamics and applies the theory to global real world examples
- Assumes only non-vector based calculus
- Features supplementary CD-ROM with electronic versions of all figures, case study data and possible term projects
- An invaluable text for students of Meteorology, Atmospheric Science, Geography and Environmental Science
