Synoptic-Dynamic Meteorology in Midlatitudes: Volume II: Observations and Theory of Weather Systems



Synoptic-Dynamic Meteorology in Midlatitudes: Volume II: Observations and Theory of Weather Systems by Howard B. Bluestein (Author). Synoptic meteorology, the study of large-scale climate systems and forecasting utilizing remark, and dynamic meteorology, the examine of the laws of physics concerned in air motion, are treated in this main new textual content in two volumes. The author, a meteorologist famous for his analysis on tornadoes and extreme storms, based his work on material he has taught for the past 14 years at the College of Oklahoma. There are not any trendy texts on the topic. Quantity II covers the formation, movement and climatology of extratropical weather systems in the context of the quasigeostrophic concept and “IPV” thinking, the formation and construction of fronts and jets, purposes of semigeostrophic concept, and the noticed structure and dynamics of precipitation techniques in midlatitudes.

This is the 2nd of 2 books written by Dr. Bluestein to show synoptic and dynamic meteorology to undergraduate school students. Unlike different textbooks, this textbook takes the time to indicate alot more of the steps within the derivation of equations utilized in meteorology. Of course this has added to the dimensions of the guide however the fact that the author has taken the care to incorporate this in his book is quite useful for those studying meteorology. It is a useful reference book.


Prof. Howard B. Bluestein is a very good professor who can explain the mathematical formulation well and also point out how they’re associated to meteorology. Also he can explain how meteorological techniques are put collectively and the way they work.
I’ve learn additionally Half I of his Synoptic Dynamic Meteorology Series. It has given me a thorough understanding of how meteorology works. This e book is a must for all college students and I like to recommend it very strongly.
