Mesoscale Meteorology in Midlatitudes / Paul Markowski; Yvette Richardson - Chichester ; Hoboken : John Wiley & Sons, 2010. - xxi, 407 pages : illustrations, maps ; 27 cm.
What is the mesoscale? -- Basic equations and tools --Mesoscale instabilities -- The boundary layer -- Air mass boundaries -- Mesoscale gravity waves -- Convection initiation -- Organization of isolated convection -- Mesoscale convection systems -- Hazards associated with deep moist convention --
Thermally forced winds in mountainous terrain -- Mountain waves and downslope windstorms -- Blocking of the wind by terrain -- Appendix : Radar and its applications.
Mesoscale Meteorology in Mid-Latitudes presents the dynamics of mesoscale meteorological phenomena in a highly accessible, student-friendly manner. The book's clear mathematical treatments are complemented by high-quality photographs and illustrations. Comprehensive coverage of subjects including boundary layer mesoscale phenomena, orographic phenomena and deep convection is brought together with the latest developments in the field to provide an invaluable resource for mesoscale meteorology students.
Mesoscale Meteorology in Mid-Latitudes functions as a comprehensive, easy-to-use undergraduate textbook while also providing a useful reference for graduate students, research scientists and weather industry professionals.
