Handbook of Meteorology Aiden Martinez

Meteorology is a sub-discipline of the atmospheric sciences that is focused on weather forecasting. It encompasses the fields of atmospheric physics and atmospheric chemistry. The science of meteorology seeks to explain observable weather events, and quantifies these in terms of temperature, air pressure, mass flow, water vapour, their interactions and change with respect to time. Weather prediction is done at the microscale, mesoscale, synoptic scale and global scales. Besides weather prediction, meteorological studies are crucial to air traffic management, agricultural management, the study of the distribution of radioactive gases and aerosols in the atmosphere, analysis of industrial pollution, etc. This book contains some path-breaking studies in the field of meteorology. Also included herein is a detailed explanation of the various concepts and applications of this field. Those with an interest in meteorology would find this book helpful.
