Atmospheric Science, Second Edition: An Introductory Survey (International Geophysics)

Excellent introductory text!

Good book for becoming familiar with some of the basics of atmospheric science. Also a useful book if you want to look for different ways to explain things to students when teaching on the topic (for me an atmospheric circulation section I was teaching as part of an Oceanography class).

A beautifully updated edition of a classic. The first "Wallace and Hobbs" became a classic work in atmospheric science nearly 40 years ago. This 2nd edition is expanded in many areas and is now full of the most beautiful illustrations and photographic images. A crucial textbook that also makes a great coffee-table book. If you are interested in the atmosphere, weather or climate, I cannot recommend it too highly.

Great job

Great overview of the atmospheric sciences (especially as an intro for radiation). I used a Meteorology Today book in undergrad, but it ended up not being too useful outside of the specific class I got it for. This book, I have used in 3 of my graduate classes and has even helped a bit in my research.

I'm a retired chemist and I found this a very good book for someone like me who hasn't studied Atmospheric Science. I believe it is very faithful to the current understanding and method of studying Atmospheric Science. However the Climate Science, especially the Mathematical Treatment of Climate Sensitivity was not explained very well. And in fact the math doesn't really work if you examine the equations closely. I'm confident this is how they teach it, but if you plug in other values for feedback factors the answers blow up and make no sense.

Perfect book for my daughter getting her masters in Meteorology. She said it is the book most referenced throughout her studies. Since she studies 24/7 that tells me that it is well written with the information necessary. She said it will remain part of her reference library throughout her career.

I am a retired scientist who never studied meteorology until now. This book is absolutely perfect for readers who prefer to see the equations and have at least some background in the physical sciences.

Perfect

praticamente perfetto, completo. per leggerlo occorrono basi di calcolo infinitesimale ma non di più

This book looks like a sure 4 or 5 star snag, but I am compelled to deduct half of the stars because half of the pages are blank. It goes: blank where page 1 would be page 2/3 blank where 4/5 would be page 6/7 there blank where 8/9 would be 10/11 there blank where 12/13 would be and so on! How is that even a thing?

Sehr gut geschrieben, viele Beispiele und Übungen. Sehr gut geeignet für Leute die Atmosphären- oder Umweltwissenschaften studieren. Gute Ergänzung des Buches "Meteorology today" wenn man einen quantitativen Ansatz will.

とてもとてもいい本です。 気象の勉強をはじめる方にも最適です。気象を英語で学んでみませんか? Second Editionですが、最初の本とは全く別の本です。 カラーの図ですし、写真もいっぱいあるし、見ていてとても楽しいです。 はじめから最後までじっくり読んでみたいと思える本です。
