Reviews

From the reviews: It appeals to those who are doing research in the field of tropical meteorology, especially in the specialty of monsoons. It is suitable as a reference book ... for a course on tropical meteorology or monsoons. ... The description part of the book serves as a good source of information, and the interpretation part of it provides good points for discussion and debate. ... I would recommend this book to students and researchers ... and who are, or intend to become, specialists in tropical meteorology. (Winston Chao, Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, January, 2012)
