He combines the building blocks of theory with modern observations and modeling to provide an exceptionally clear understanding of the workings of our atmosphere., An excellent synthesis of modern midlatitude synoptic-dynamic meteorology that will serve advanced undergraduate and graduate atmospheric science students as well as working scientists and forecasters very well., Lackmann fulfills a desperate need among today's students and teachers. No book has more approached Rossby's vision of a bridge across the gap between theory and observation than Midlatitude Synoptic Meteorology .

SynopsisThe past decade has been characterized by remarkable advances in meteorological observation, computing techniques, and data-visualization technology. However, the benefit of these advances can only be fully realized with the introduction of a systematic, applied approach to meteorological education that allows well-established theoretical concepts to be applied to modernized observational and numerical datasets. This textbook links theoretical concepts to modern technology and facilitates the meaningful application of concepts, theories, and techniques using real data. As such, it will both serve those planning careers in meteorological research and weather prediction, and provide a template for the application of modern technology in a classroom and laboratory setting. Synoptic-dynamic meteorology, synoptically driven mesoscale phenomena, weather forecasting, and numerical weather prediction are covered in depth in this text, which is intended for undergraduates and beginning graduate students in the atmospheric sciences.
