Review

“In summary, I highly recommend this book for use in courses in mesoscale meteorology at the advanced undergraduate and graduate level. It will serve as an important reference for researchers, instructors, and practitioners, and I look forward to using it in even more depth in my future teaching.”  (Bulletin of the American Met Society, 2012)

"Markowski and Richardson (both meteorology, Penn State U.) deliver a very accessible advanced text on the dynamics of mesoscale meteorological phenomena, including boundary layer mesoscale phenomena, orographic phenomena and deep convection . . . an eye-pleasing design and extensive use of color photographs and illustrations make this book especially usable as both an undergraduate text and as a reference for graduate students, researchers, and meteorologists."

5.0 out of 5 stars Well done May 8 2010
By S. D. Mayor - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Finally, a book on mesoscale meteorology that appears to have received the attention in preparation that we are use to seeing nowdays for textbooks assigned in courses with large numbers of students (i.e. chemistry, physics, biology, etc.) This book is beautifully typeset, well written, and includes many fabulous color graphics.

4.0 out of 5 stars Finally a Mesoscale book April 5 2010
By WxNeighbor - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
For years there have never been any updated synoptic or mesoscale meteorology textbooks, and now this. It's a very good book but very heavy on equations and derivatives. While this is an important part of Meteorology it may not catch on in many undergraduate classes. As a reference text it is perfect for an experienced meteorologist/meteo student. As a classroom textbook it would be perfect for a first-year graduate student.

If you've read/used "Atmospheric Science" by Wallace & Hobbs you will see the layout from page to page is VERY similar. I would highly recommend this product to any and all atmospheric science people, but bear in mind it may be a little tough at first to recall that motivation to slash through all the calculus.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Mesoscale Source Feb 5 2011
By C. Spamer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This is a great textbook. I bought it because it was required for my upperlevel meteorology class, but it really is a good resource. It's an excellent complement to the class and a terrific aid for if I get lost in a lecture.
