For junior/senior-level courses in Weather Analysis, Weather Analysis and Forecasting, Synoptic Meteorology, Atmospheric Circulation Systems.

This text describes those tropospheric structures large enough to play a role in weather analysis — air masses and patterns in wind and other variables.

  • describes all important large-scale structures of the atmosphere — and their physical relationships — e.g., planetary phenomena such as jet streams and belt of subtropical highs; large-scale and larger mesoscale phenomena.
  • presents conceptual models of atmospheric phenomena and structures with schematic drawings and with examples on synoptic charts.
  • provides relevant physical and mathematical descriptions of basic interrelations. Includes mathematical expressions that are used in contemporary automated weather analysis and forecasting.
  • includes extensive appendices with in-depth discussion of mathematical and technical details that support the weather analysis.
