From a world-renowned team at the Department of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Washington Seattle Weather: A Concise Introduction is an accessible and beautifully illustrated text covering the foundations of meteorology in a concise clear and engaging manner. Designed to provide students with a strong foundation in the physical dynamical and chemical processes taking place in the atmosphere this introductory textbook will appeal to students with a wide range of mathematical and scientific backgrounds. This textbook features: a single case study of a mid-latitude cyclone which is referred to throughout the whole book to illustrate the basic principles driving atmospheric dynamics and phenomena; boxes on more advanced topics; appendices for additional coverage; chapter summaries listing the ''take-home'' points discussed; and colour figures and charts illustrating the fundamental concepts. Key terms are evident throughout and a glossary explains the terms that students will need to understand and become familiar with.
