The final four chapters constitute a more advanced course, and provide insights into the diagnostic power of the quasi-geostrophic approximation of the equations outlined in the previous chapters, the meso-scale dynamics of thefrontal zone, the alternative PV perspective for cyclone interpretation, and the dynamics of the life-cycle of mid-latitude cyclones.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWritten in a clear and accessible style\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFeatures real weather examples and global case studies\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEach chapter sets out clear learning objectives and tests students' knowledge with concluding questions and answers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eA Solutions Manual is also available for this textbook on the Instructor Companion Site www.wileyeurope.com\/college\/martin.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"...a student-friendly yet rigorous textbook that accomplishes what no other textbook has done before... I highly recommend this textbook. For instructors, this is a great book if they don't have their own class notes - one can teach straight from the book.

This is a rare attribute of advanced textbooks.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of the American Meteorological Society (BAMS), 2008\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJonathan E. Martin\u003c\/b\u003e is a Professor in the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where he has taught since 1994. He has received numerous accolades for his teaching including the Underkofler Excellence in Teaching Award and is a Fellow in the Teaching Academy of the University of Wisconsin. His teaching excellence is allied with research expertise in the study of mid-latitude weather systems. Professor Martin has published extensively in scholarly journals and was awarded the distinction of being named a Mark H.
