Mesoscale-Convective Processes in the Atmosphere

'... the initial goal of the book, a study of a family of extremely complex phenomena of foremost interest in the field of atmospheric fluid mechanics, is successfully achieved.' Jose Miguel Pacheco Castelao, Mathematical Reviews
'There is ... a series of online supplemental resources available for this book that could prove to be very helpful to instructors [of] mesoscale meteorology courses ... presents a thorough, clear picture of the theoretical underpinnings of mesoscale processes along with recent research advances ... best suited for graduate students and researchers, although much of the material should be accessible to advanced undergraduate student[s] as well. It would likely work best as a text for introductory graduate-level courses in mesoscale meteorology, and I recommend it for use in that setting ...' Russ S. Schumacher, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union
'In this book Robert J. Trapp has put together a great amount of knowledge along with very interesting material. The word that best describes it is 'useful' ... there is a good balance in the use of historical and current research, citing books and papers published recently and decades ago. Moreover, there are many quotes to back up the contents but at the same time the reader does not need to check the references continuously. Also most of the equations are derived and explained step by step ... Therefore, this book is highly recommendable. I think that it can be useful for a wide variety of readers: for students at several levels, teachers, as a basic text for the shelves of researchers.' Juan Anel, Contemporary Physics
