Book Synopsis

Textbook that uniquely integrates physics and chemistry in the study of atmospheric thermodynamics for advanced single-semester courses.

Trade Review

'… this volume provides an excellent introduction to the thermodynamics of the atmosphere required for more advanced studies in atmospheric dynamics and would provide an ideal complement to texts on synoptic meteorology. While aimed at undergraduate courses it would also be valuable to early graduate students moving into atmospheric science from other physical sciences; I wish it had been available when I first started studying meteorology.'
