Atmospheric Convection: Research and Operational Forecasting Aspects (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Giaiotti, Dario B.; Stel, Fulvio; Steinacker, Reinhold

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book treats atmospheric convection from different angles including the theoretical aspects of atmospheric deep convection and the weather phenomena related to convection. The problem of boundary conditions that result in severe convective weather patterns is explored within the framework of worldwide climatology. The book bridges the gap between theory and its operational application both within the fields of weather forecasting and that of risk management.
