About this book
This text describes the important large-scale tropospheric structures of the atmosphere and their physical relationships, including planetary phenomena, jet streams and sub-tropical highs, and larger meoscale phenomena. Conceptual models, schematic drawings and synoptic charts are used to present atmospheric phenomena alongside the physical and mathematical descriptions of basic interrelations.
