Overview

An Introduction to Dynamic Meteorology, Sixth Edition, Volume 88, is the latest release in this gold standard for generations of meteorologists who use it as a textbook and reference in their careers. This updated edition reflects the latest research in the field, providing a cogent explanation of the fundamentals of meteorology and an explanation of storm dynamics for weather-oriented meteorologists. The first seven chapters lay the foundation for the study of atmospheric dynamics, with the latter chapters covering more advanced material, ENSO, seasonal dynamics, climate dynamics, and in this new edition, weather-ocean dynamics.

Author Information

James R. Holton was Professor of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Washington until his death in 2004. A member of the National Academies of Science, during his career he was awarded every major honor available in the atmospheric sciences including AGU's Revelle Medal. Gregory J. Hakim is Professor and Chair of the Department of Atmospheric Sciences in the College of the Environment at the University of Washington. His research focuses on problems in climate reconstruction, predictability, data assimilation, atmospheric dynamics, and synoptic meteorology. He teaches courses in weather, atmospheric sciences, atmospheric structure and analysis, atmospheric motions, synoptic meteorology, balance dynamics, and weather predictability and data assimilation.
