Applied Thermodynamics for Meteorologists by Sam Miller - 9781107100718

Applied Thermodynamics for Meteorologists\n\nA textbook connecting fundamental physics to practical applications, for students in meteorology or atmospheric science and for working professionals as a reference text.\n\nSam Miller (Author)\n\n9781107100718 (SKU 3256973), Cambridge University Press\n\nHardback, published 4 June 2015\n\n392 pages\n26.1 x 18.4 x 2.4 cm, 0.9 kg\n\n'Miller's book is conversational and down-to-earth. He pays more attention to derivations than do most other authors. As he leads the student through the material, he notes assumptions carefully, while successfully avoiding the annoying 'it can be shown' tone of too many textbooks. Miller also provides data tables of key thermodynamic values for various substances, as I found to my delight while working on a research paper; the information is not easy to locate elsewhere \u2026 Numerous inclusions of real-life weather data, from surface weather maps to radiosonde soundings, relate the concepts to atmospheric obs]
