Synopsis
Synoptic meteorology, the study of large-scale weather systems and forecasting using observation, and dynamic meteorology, the study of the laws of physics involved in air movement, are treated in this major new text in two volumes. The author, a meteorologist noted for his research on tornadoes and severe storms, based his work on material he has taught for the past 14 years at the University of Oklahoma. There are no modern texts on the topic. Volume II covers the formation, motion and climatology of extratropical weather systems in the context of the quasigeostrophic theory and "IPV" thinking, the formation and structure of fronts and jets, applications of semigeostrophic theory, and the observed structure and dynamics of precipitation systems in midlatitudes., Synoptic meteorology, the study of large scale weather systems and forecasting using observation, and dynamic meteorology, the study of the laws of physics involved in air movement, are treated in this major new text in two volumes. Volume I covers kinematics, elementary atmospheric dynamics and thermodynamics, and the principles of quasi-geostrophic theory; there is also an introduction to modern observing systems, including Doppler radar, wind profilers, and navigation-aid sondes. Volume II covers the formation, motion, and climatology of extratropical weather systems in the context of quasi-geostrophic theory and "IPV thinking", the formation and structure of fronts and jets, applications of semi-geostrophic theory, and the observed structure and dynamics of precipitation systems in midlatitudes.

- e***r (1010)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseItem received safely, quickly, and was packaged extremely well. Item was price very competitively given its very good condition. Seller is EXTREMELY responsive and resolved an issue with the item within hours. Highly recommended seller and a credit to the community. Thanks for the transaction!!!
- r***m (59)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseShipping was fast and and very affordable. Item was very well packaged and came exactly as seller described. The value was very affordable, considering I purchase 10 new factory packaged cassette tapes for half the price that other sellers are asking. I waited to do this review to record on 1 of the tapes just to see how they were going to sound. Superb!. Very happy with my purchase and Thank You "Merch-Retro" for allowing me to do business with you.
