Excerpt from A Short Course in Elementary Meteorology This unimposing little book is a remarkable one, for it marks an epoch; there are numerous books on elementary meteorology, but this is the first which has been written by a British teacher for a class of students who are learning meteorology as a qualification for their profession. The British Empire has produced some of the world's foremost meteorologists -Hailey, Beaufort, Abercromby, Blan - ford, Eliot, and Shaw, to mention only a few - but, until recently, no one but a few specialists thought it worth his while to make a serious study of meteorology. But things have now changed, for the war taught us the importance of meteorology in practical life, and the aviator has arrived with his active life in the region of nature which we meteorologists have only looked into from below. Meteorology, from being the hobby of a few and the life's work of a still smaller number of despised official "weather prophets," has come into its own, and not only the aviator but the general public is asking for the means to study this neglected branch of science. It is, therefore, with the greatest pleasure that I welcome this little book and trust that it is only the first of a long series, for meteorology is still in its infancy, and as it develops text-books must be rewritten or they will become worse than useless. This book has been written by a practical meteorologist for practical aviators and by a teacher for his students. This is an ideal combination and the product is not disappointing. I wish, however, to warn the student that there are many unsolved problems in meteorology, and therefore he should not be satisfied with any explanation or theory which the book contains. He has been given the best explanations which it is possible to give in the present state of our knowledge, limited in some cases by the need to use elementary considerations only. All this should, however, give him a greater interest in his work, for it will afford him plenty of opportunities to use his own brains, to say nothing of the possibility of his making an important discovery.

For advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in atmospheric, oceanic, and climate science, Atmosphere, Ocean and Climate Dynamics is an introductory textbook on the circulations of the atmosphere and ocean and their interaction, with an emphasis on global scales. It will give students a good grasp of what the atmosphere and oceans look like on the large-scale and why they look that way. The role of the oceans in climate and paleoclimate is also discussed. The combination of observations, theory and accompanying illustrative laboratory experiments sets this text apart by making it accessible to students with no prior training in meteorology or oceanography. * Written at a mathematical level that is appealing for undergraduates and beginning graduate students * Provides a useful educational tool through a combination of observations and laboratory demonstrations which can be viewed over the web * Contains instructions on how to reproduce the simple but informative laboratory experiments * Includes copious problems (with sample answers) to help students learn the material.
