Title StatementSynoptic-dynamic meteorology in midlatitudes Vol. ll - observations and theory of weather systems by Howard B. Bluestein
Physical Descriptionxii, 594p. illus., figures
Summary, Etc.This major two-volume textbook elucidates the essential principles of modern weather forecasting and analysis for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of meteorology. Written by an internationally respected meteorologists and based on his fourteen years of teaching experience at the University of Oklahoma, this work expertly combines observations with theory and emphasizes both physical understanding and mathematical analysis. Volume ll covers the interpretation of the behavior of synoptic-scale systems in the context of both quasigeostrophic theory in pressure coordinates and isentropic potential vorticity (IPV) analysis. Frontal theory and observations are encompassed, along with mesoscale phenomena such as the coastal front, the dryline, and fronts that behave like trapped gravity currents. Chapters also detail semi-geostropic theory, symmetric instability and jets. Supercells, ordinary cells, mesoscale convective systems, tornadoes, hail and downbursts are discussed in the context of their larger scale environment. The text includes many helpful figures and selected problems
