Atmosphere, Weather and Climate has established its reputation worldwide as the essential introduction to the
study of atmosphere and world climate. Rigorously revised and updated, the 7th edition retains its popular tried
and tested structure and remains the most
comprehensive guide to the earth's weather processes, climatic conditions, and human impacts on climate change.
The most topical issues of global change and responses to climate, and the latest scientific ideas, are expressed
in a clear, non-mathematical manner. New features for the 7th
edition include extended coverage of Australasia, sub-Arctic and polar regions, and the former USSR, updated analysis
of global warming, desertification, mid-latitude synoptic systems, local climates, the role of the oceans and atmosphere/earth/ocean
interactions, and new sections on
thunderstorms, teleconnections, typhoon paths over Asia, Australian monsoons, boreal forest and tropical urban
climates.
