Heat, wind, waves, water. The theoretical meteorology deals with the dynamics of wind and waves as well as the balance of heat and water. Many students are hesitant about the subject because they fear mathematics. However, anyone interested in meteorology and weather knows fundamentally: without mathematics and a bit of theoretical physics, it doesn't work. Numerous formulas must be memorized, and one must be able to work with them. Michael Hantel guides interested readers to the actual concepts behind the formulas. His goal is to present this conceptual world in a new freshness. Instead of exercises, the author provides worked-out estimates that facilitate understanding of the subject. The book is divided into sections on radiation, thermodynamics, hydrodynamics, barotropic processes, boundary layers, baroclinic processes, and global balance.
