This text describes those tropospheric structures large enough to play a role in weather analysis air masses and patterns in wind and other variables.Describes all important large-scale structures of the atmosphere and their physical relationships; presents conceptual models of atmospheric phenomena and structures with schematic drawings and with examples on synoptic charts; provides relevant physical and mathematical description of basic interrelations. MARKETS:For courses in Weather Analysis, Weather Analysis and Forecasting, Synoptic Meteorology, Atmospheric Circulation Systems.
