This book presents a comprehensive introduction to weather processes and climatic conditions around the world, their observed variability and changes, and projected future trends. Extensively revised and updated, this ninth edition retains its tried and tested structure while incorporating recent advances in the field. From clear explanations of the basic physical and chemical principles of the atmosphere, to descriptions of regional climates and their changes, the book presents a comprehensive coverage of global meteorology and climatology. In this new edition the latest scientific ideas are again expressed in a clear, non-mathematical matter.

New features include:

    • extended and updated treatment of atmospheric models

    • final chapter on climate variability and change has been completely rewritten to take account of the IPCC 2007 scientific assessment.

    • new four-colour text design featuring over 30 colour plates

    • over 360 diagrams have been redrawn in full colour to improve clarity and aid understanding.

    Atmosphere, Weather and Climate continues to be an indispensable source for all those studying the earth’s atmosphere and world climate, whether from environmental and earth sciences, geography, ecology, agriculture, hydrology, or related disciplinary perspectives. Its pedagogic value is enhanced by several features: learning points at the opening of each chapter and discussion topics at their ending, boxes on topical subjects and on twentieth century advances in the field.

    Review

    "A comprehensive introduction to weather and climate, describing phenomena from cloud scale to global scale in a very accessible way." Dave Gutzler, University of New Mexico

    "This book provides an excellent overview of the climate system from the global to the local scale. It is excellently written at a level that provides detail, whilst being accessible at the introductory level. It is my first choice for the core text for my intermediate level undergraduate climatology course." Julie Jones, Sheffield University, UK

      5.0 out of 5 stars Learned yet accessible academic text
      Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 March 2010
      Verified Purchase
      I've had the 6th edition of this book knocking around for many years but never plucked up the courage to read it. This new edition, with colour photography, colour diagrams and a revised text, is much more accessible than the earlier version. It's a superb book on a difficult and complex subject. The chapters are very well divided into categories on both different atmospheric mechanisms and how these vary according to geographical locations (tropical, polar, temperate etc). There's also a chapter on climate change which takes an appealing level headed view on the whole debate.There's a full bibliography and excellent chapter summaries.

      It's not perfect and sometimes I really wanted to understand a process and found myself floundering on what I felt was insufficiently clear explanation. However this will be true of any book that attempts to bridge the gap between readability and high level scientific description.

      Yet in all I think this is a great book and I would recommend it very highly.

      5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent text about a very complex and increasingly important topic
      Reviewed in the United States on 3 April 2014
      Verified Purchase
      This book begins with an excellent summary of the basic ideas and importance of meteorology. it
      then goes into detail about the many aspects of the subject in words, graphics and tables. The book
      requires serious work on the part of the reader--as any good textbook does. For the book to be useful
      to the reader it requires basic under standing of several aspects of physics, chemistry, and geography.
