Informationen zum Autor John M. Wallace is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences of the University of Washington. He served as Department Chair from 1983–1988. He is a recipient of the James B. Macelwane and Roger Revelle Medals of the American Geophysical Union (AGU), and the Clarence Leroy Meisinger Award and Carl-Gustav Rossby Medal of the American Meteorological Society (AMS). He is a Fellow of the AGU and the AMS, a member of the National Academy of Sciences, and a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He is the co-author (with Peter Hobbs) of Atmospheric Sciences: An Introductory Survey (2006), one of the most influential textbooks in the field. PETER V. HOBBS was born in London in 1936. He received his doctorate from Imperial College, University of London, where he worked in the research group headed by Sir B. John Mason. He joined the Department of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Washington in 1963, and served as a faculty member there until his death in 2005. In his role as founder and director of the the Cloud and Aerosol Research Group(CARG) in the department, he acquired and maintained a series of instrumented research aircraft with which he and his staff and students made field measurements of clouds, frontal systems and effluents from fires, volcanoes and industrial sources in many different parts of the world. He was a prolific writer and a devoted instructor and mentor of students. In recognition of his research and teaching contributions he was named an Honorary Member of the American Meteorological Society. Klappentext Professors Wallace and Hobbs are very prominent figures in the atmospheric science community, thanks to their 1977 textbook's reader-friendly approach for tackling complex, interdisciplinary problems within the atmospheric sciences and presenting the fundamental concepts that underlie them. This book serves as a cornerstone, providing students with an introductory context for atmospheric phenomena that are examined in more detail in more advanced courses. Zusammenfassung Helps students and professionals to understand atmospheric phenomena in the context of various discoveries and technologies! and prepare themselves for more advanced study and real-life problem solving.
