Opis

The first self-contained and comprehensive volume on atmospheric fronts, for students and instructors in atmospheric sciences and meteorology.

Recenzje

'Professor Mak has adroitly consolidated into one volume, for the first time, what we know about the dynamics of surface and upper-level fronts in the atmosphere from the perspective of a hierarchy of models. This book contains a wealth of material that will serve as an excellent resource for graduate courses in meteorology as well as for researchers.' Howie Bluestein, University of Oklahoma
