Rezensionen

"In summary, I highly recommend this book for use incourses in mesoscale meteorology at the advanced undergraduate andgraduate level. It will serve as an important reference forresearchers, instructors, and practitioners, and I look forward tousing it in even more depth in my future teaching."

(Bulletin, 2012)"Markowski and Richardson (both meteorology, Penn State U.) delivera very accessible advanced text on the dynamics of mesoscalemeteorological phenomena, including boundary layer mesoscalephenomena, orographic phenomena and deep convection . . . aneye-pleasing design and extensive use of color photographs andillustrations make this book especially usable as both anundergraduate text and as a reference for graduate students,researchers, and meteorologists."
