An Introduction to Synoptic-Dynamic MeteorologyAuthor(s): Gabriel Williams\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Elsevier Science Publishing Co Inc, United States\nImprint: Academic Press Inc\nISBN-13: 9780443248580, 978-0443248580\nSynopsis\nAn Introduction to Synoptic-Dynamic Meteorology offers a systematic exploration of synoptic meteorology, beginning with the basics of atmospheric pressure and atmospheric motion. It progresses into weather instrumentation and observation, analysis of these observations, surface fronts, and fundamental and inertial atmospheric forces. Subsequent chapters focus on balance in synoptic-scale flow, upper-tropospheric jet streams, and troughs and ridges. Concluding chapters address lower-Tropospheric Processes and Midlatitude Cyclones. This textbook serves as a bridge between introductory and upper-division atmospheric dynamics courses. Supplementary resources include a solutions manual and PowerPoint slides for instructors and Python notebooks with worked e.
