Full Description
An Introduction to Synoptic-Dynamic Meteorology offers a systematic exploration of synoptic meteorology, beginning with the basics of atmospheric pressure and atmospheric motion. It progresses into weather instrumentation and observation, analysis of these observations, surface fronts, and fundamental and inertial atmospheric forces. Subsequent chapters focus on balance in synoptic-scale flow, upper-tropospheric jet streams, and troughs and ridges. Concluding chapters address lower-Tropospheric Processes and Midlatitude Cyclones. This textbook serves as a bridge between introductory and upper-division atmospheric dynamics courses. Supplementary resources include a solutions manual and PowerPoint slides for instructors and Python notebooks with worked examples for both students and instructors.
This book is essential for sophomore-level meteorology students, advanced researchers in atmospheric science, and professionals such as meteorologists, weather forecasters, and climate scientists. It is also beneficial for environmental consultants, aviation professionals, hydrologists, oceanographers, energy sector experts, and emergency management officials, making it a versatile resource in navigating the complexities of atmospheric science.
