{"product_id":"mid-latitude-atmospheric-dynamics-jonathan-e-martin-9780470864654","title":"Mid-Latitude Atmospheric Dynamics","description":"This exciting text provides a mathematically rigorous yet accessible textbook that is primarily aimed at atmospheric science majors. Its accessibility is due to the texts emphasis on conceptual understanding. \u003cp\u003eThe first five chapters constitute a companion text to introductory courses covering the dynamics of the mid-latitude atmosphere. The final four chapters constitute a more advanced course, and provide insights into the diagnostic power of the quasi-geostrophic approximation of the equations outlined in the previous chapters, the meso-scale dynamics of thefrontal zone, the alternative PV perspective for cyclone interpretation, and the dynamics of the life-cycle of mid-latitude cyclones.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWritten in a clear and accessible style\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFeatures real weather examples and global case studies\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEach chapter sets out clear learning objectives and tests students' knowledge with concluding questions and answers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eA Solutions Manual is also available for this textbook on the Instructor Companion Site www.wileyeurope.com\/college\/martin.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"...a student-friendly yet rigorous textbook that accomplishes what no other textbook has done before... I highly recommend this textbook. For instructors, this is a great book if they don't have their own class notes - one can teach straight from the book. And for students, this is a great book if they don't take good class notes - one can learn straight from the book. This is a rare attribute of advanced textbooks.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of the American Meteorological Society (BAMS), 2008\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan E.
