DESCRIPTION:
I think that it can be useful for a wide variety of readers: for students at several levels, teachers, as a basic text for the shelves of researchers." Juan Añel, Contemporary Physics . Schumacher, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union"In this book Robert J. Trapp has put together a great amount of knowledge along with very interesting material. The word that best describes it is "useful" there is a good balance in the use of historical and current research, citing books and papers published recently and decades ago. Also most of the equations are d
Robert J. He was a National Research Council Postdoctoral Fellow and then was appointed as a research scientist at the Cooperative Institute for Mesoscale Meteorological Studies and the National Severe Storms Laboratory. . Trapp has also been recognized as an Outstanding Teacher in the College of Science and has appeared on his departmental teaching honor roll in every semester of his tenure at Purdue. Trapp joined the faculty at Purdue University in 2003: he is c

This new textbook seeks to promote a deep yet accessible understanding of mesoscale-convective processes in the atmosphere. Modern explanations of the convective-storm dynamics, and of the related development of tornadoes, damaging "straight-line" winds, and heavy rainfall, are provided. Students and weather professionals will benefit especially from unique chapters devoted to observations and measurements of mesoscale phenomena, mesoscale prediction and predictability, and dynamical feedbacks between mesoscale-convective processes and larger-scale motions.. Mesoscale-convective processes are commonly manifested in the form of thunderstorms, which are fast evolving, inherently hazardous, and can assume a broad range of sizes and severity
