This book describes in simple terms a new paradigm for understanding the atmosphere, that goes beyond just "weather" and "climate." Veering from the popular expression that "the climate is what you expect, the weather is what you get", this book takes the reader by the hand and explains that there is a third regime¿macroweather¿in between the weather and climate.

Shaun Lovejoy is Professor of Physics at McGill University, where he also earned his PhD in the same subject. He received his undergraduate and Master's degree in theoretical physics from Trinity College, Cambridge. He studies scaling ideas in the geosciences, and has contributed to the explosive growth of nonlinear geophysics including the modeling and empirical analyses and characterization of geosystems over wide ranges of scales.
