Polar Lows - Mesoscale Weather Systems in the Polar Regions

Polar Lows reviews our understanding of the small, high-latitude weather systems known as polar lows. The text describes their distribution and structure, and discusses why they develop and how they may be predicted. This book will appeal to researchers and professional forecasters concerned with weather in polar regions. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; 1. Introduction J. Turner, E. A. Rasmussen and A. M.
