Overview
- Addresses a broad audience: graduate students in meteorology, professionals in weather forecasting and researchers in climate modeling
- Provides vital insight into the methods employed in major weather forecast centers in the United States, England, Japan, India, France, and Australia
- Includes chapter exercises of graduate level complexity
- The work is focused and brief enough to be reasonably priced
Part of the book series: Atmospheric and Oceanographic Sciences Library (ATSL, volume 35)

About this book
Reviews
James Russell Carr in Mathematical Geology, Vol. 31, No. 8, 1999 on the book's first edition:
In summary, the mathematical treatment is quite intense and demands patience of readers, at least in the case of this one. But if at all intrigued by how sophisticated weather forecasting has become (certainly strom forecasting) then a reader will find this book not only interesting, but thorough enough to enable model development if that is a goal. Problems are presneted at the end of each chapter, so this book can be used as a texct in the class room. Reserachers involved in the modeling of turbulence, ocean systems and tectonic systems may also value the presentation of this book.

About the authors
T.N. Krishnamurti is professor of meteorology at Florida State University. He obtained his PhD in 1959 at the University of Chicago. His research interests are in the following areas: high resolution hurricane forecast (tracks, landfall, and intensity), monsoon forecasts on short, medium range, and monthly time scale and studies of interseasonal and interannual variability of the tropical atmosphere. As a participant in the meteorology team in tropical field projects, he has been responsible for the acquisition and analysis of meteorological data, which extends over most of the tropical atmosphere over several years and is now being assembled and analyzed. These data are unique; it is unlikely that a meteorological data record will be available for decades. Phenomenological interests include hurricanes, monsoons, jet streams, and the meteorology of arid zones.
