 Well done May 9, 2010

Finally, a book on mesoscale meteorology that appears to have received the attention in preparation that we are use to seeing nowdays for textbooks assigned in courses with large numbers of students (i.e. chemistry, physics, biology, etc.) This book is beautifully typeset, well written, and includes many fabulous color graphics.
One of the best March 27, 2010

This is one of the best mesoscale books I've seen. I wish it was available when I was working on my meteorology degree.
 Finally a Mesoscale book April 6, 2010

For years there have never been any updated synoptic or mesoscale meteorology textbooks, and now this. It's a very good book but very heavy on equations and derivatives. While this is an important part of Meteorology it may not catch on in many undergraduate classes. As a reference text it is perfect for an experienced meteorologist/meteo student. As a classroom textbook it would be perfect for a first-year graduate student.
If you've read/used "Atmospheric Science" by Wallace & Hobbs you will see the layout from page to page is VERY similar. I would highly recommend this product to any and all atmospheric science people, but bear in mind it may be a little tough at first to recall that motivation to slash through all the calculus.
