This revised text 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 Fourth Edition features a CD-ROM with MATLAB® exercises and updated treatments of several key topics. Much of the material is based on a two-term course for seniors majoring in atmospheric sciences.
Provides clear physical explanations of key dynamical principles
Contains a wealth of illustrations to elucidate text and equations, plus end-of-chapter problems
Holton is one of the leading authorities in contemporary meteorology, and well known for his clear writing style
Instructor's Manual available to adopters
