An Introduction to Atmospheric Physics

This textbook shows how physics helps us understand many important aspects of atmospheric behaviour and is ideal as an introductory text for advanced undergraduates studying atmospheric physics as part of physics, meteorology or environmental science courses. It will also be useful for graduate students studying atmospheric physics for the first time and for students of applied mathematics, physical chemistry and engineering who have an interest in the atmosphere. The book presents a thorough treatment of atmospheric thermodynamics, radiative transfer, atmospheric fluid dynamics and elementary atmospheric chemistry.
