Product Description

The new edition of this text addresses the needs of professors to quantify the concepts in Ahrens by providing the mathematical equations needed for a more detailed understanding of weather. The organization maps directly to Ahrens, making Stull the perfect companion. It is not a lab manual nor a workbook, but it does contain numerous solved problems which students can solve. The text demonstrates how to use equations by including numerous solved examples that demonstrate with mathematics (algebra, geometry, trigonometry and finite differential equations but not calculus) the dominant characteristics of certain atmospheric phenomena and processes.

Brilliant piece of work
A remarkable book, it gives details of how to calculate the various weather conditions, and best of all it gives worked examples so you know how a formula is supposed to be calculated. Wish other authors of technical books would follow this authors example. For people who want a technical book that gives the background on weather conditions and do not mind mathematics (there is some calculas, which can be safly glossed over if, like me, you do not have an instinct for calculus ) then get this book. It does not give precise answers, as the author admits, modelling some aspects of the weather as it changes is to put it mildly going to involve rather a supreme effort or a very remarkable computer.
