Synoptic-Dynamic Meteorology in Midlatitudes: Volume II: Observations and Theory of Weather Systems Hardcover - 1993 - 1st Edition

by Howard B. Bluestein


From the publisher

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.

First line

Much of this chapter details techniques used to diagnose the physical mechanisms responsible for height and pressure changes, and for vertical motion, using quasigeostrophic reasoning.

From the rear cover

This major two-volume textbook elucidates the essential principles of modern weather forecasting and analysis for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of meteorology.
