Mid-Latitude Atmospheric Dynamics: A First Course

I'm an applied mathematics undergraduate with a strong interest in atmosphere-ocean dynamics, and out of all of the books on this topic that I've been through, this is by far the best in terms of clarity and exposition. Dr. Martin provides great physical explanations/interpretations of the mathematics and his discussions are very insightful. I HIGHLY recommend this book. It is great for self-teaching, as I have done, or perhaps for a one or two-semester class.

This is the best synoptic textbook I have found. It has excellent schematics of atmospheric dynamic that are clearly and concisely. It also doesn't cheat on the math--it gives clear derivations with explanations. It also avoid unnecessary details. Great!

nice

I purchased this book to supplement my required Holton book. This book does a much better job of explaining what dynamics are happening rather than throwing endless formulae at you and not explaining them well.

Martin does an excellent job of explaining concepts with words and mathematics. I think the marriage of the two makes his book different from the rest. Definitely a worthwhile purchase!

OK

I highly recommend the book but do not waste your money on the Kindle (Mac) version. I have the hardcopy (and Holton's more complicated version) but got tired of carrying it around. I thought I would try Kindle for the first time and download to my new Ipad. The cost is about the same as the paperback but the quality is not even close, and the graphics are key to understanding the material. Amazon, what happened?? You probably lost a Kindle textbook customer here as that was a fair chunk of change for a majorly disappointing product.

This text is important for graduate and post-graduate students especially meant for theoretical and practical knowledge. This text provides us basic meteorological dynamics of midlatitude Atmosphere.

El libro llegó en perfectas condiciones y bastante antes de lo esperado. No tengo ninguna queja.

El libro me llegó antes de la fecha prevista. Su estado era óptimo, se nota perfectamente que era nuevo. Sin duda recomendable.

Es un libro muy completo , explicado con gran claridad y esencial para cualquier profesional de la Meteorología sin duda.
