Atmospheric Science

Great job

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 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.

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.

A good book on atmospheric science for students and interested citizens. Involves some mathematics which can be seen as a plus by some. Awsome color illustrations. Also involves some atmospheric chemistry which was a surprise to me.

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.

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 bepage 2/3blank where 4/5 would bepage 6/7 thereblank where 8/9 would be10/11 thereblank where 12/13 would beand so on! How is that even a thing?

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

One of best books on basics of Atmospheric Science. Also the deal price at Amazon is best! Highly recommended for the scholars working in the field of Atmospheric Science

The book arrived on time. I am pleased by the quick shipment.Now, the book. It is a hardcover colorful book, a 2nd edition of a classic in the field. It is full of problems so it is ideal for self-study (as I do in my spare time), the concepts are clearly explained and plenty of colorful illustrations and graphics (with sources) can be found inside. Please find the attached images to see the book.I do recommend it, it is a fantastic book on a very interesting subject!

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.
