In this acclaimed textbook, John Houghton provides a
comprehensive and concise description of the physical processes
governing the structure and the circulation of the atmosphere.
Completely revised and updated, the third edition contains much new
and expanded material. New chapters have been introduced on topics
of strong contemporary interest such as Chaos and Predictability
and Climate Change. The chapters on global observations (especially
through remote sensing) and numerical modeling have also been
substantially extended. Like its predecessors, which received
excellent reviews, this new edition will be an essential textbook
for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in meteorology,
atmospheric physics, remote sensing, climate science, environmental
science, and planetary science. Researchers and professionals in
atmospheric physics and meteorology will also find it an excellent
and up-to-date review of their subject.
