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 new edition features a companion website with MATLAB[registered] 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. Lead author Gregory J. Hakim, a major contributor to the 4th Edition, succeeds James Holton (deceased) on this 5th Edition. It provides clear physical explanations of key dynamical principles. It contains a wealth of illustrations to elucidate text and equations, plus end-of-chapter problems. Instructor's Manual available to adopters. New in this Edition: substantial chapter updates, and integration of new research on climate change; content on the most recent developments in predictability, data assimilation, climate sensitivity, and generalized stability; a fresh streamlined pedagogical approach to tropical meteorology, baroclinic development, and quasi-geostrophic theory; aspects of synoptic meteorology provide stronger linkage to observations; and companion website includes MATLAB codes for plotting animated weather patterns; and illustrations and figures.
