Product Description

The Second Edition of Roland Stull's METEOROLOGY FOR SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS lets professors quantify the concepts in Ahren's METEOROLOGY TODAY, SEVENTH EDITION like never before. This book can serve as a technical companion to Ahren's text or as a stand-alone text. It provides the mathematical equations needed for a higher level of understanding of meteorology. The organization is mapped directly to the Ahrens book, making Stull's text a perfect companion. More than a lab manual or workbook, this text contains detailed math and physics that expand upon concepts presented in Ahrens' text, as well as numerous solved problems. This text demonstrates how to use mathematical equations (algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and finite differential equations) to explain 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.
