This revised text presents a cogent explanation of the fundamentals of meteorology, and explains storm dynamics for weather-oriented meteorologists. It discusses climate dynamics and the implications posed for global change. The Fourth Edition features a CD-ROM with MATLAB® exercises and updated treatments of several key topics. Much of the material is based on a two-term course for seniors majoring in atmospheric sciences.
* Provides clear physical explanations of key dynamical principles
* Contains a wealth of illustrations to elucidate text and equations, plus end-of-chapter problems
* Holton is one of the leading authorities in contemporary meteorology, and well known for his clear writing style
* Instructor's Manual available to adopters

2010年，法国青年数学家塞德里克·维拉尼凭借对非线性朗道阻尼的证明以及对玻尔兹曼方程收敛至平衡态的研究，一举摘得菲尔茨奖章。维拉尼将以日记形式再现这段研究生涯，揭示一个数学定理的诞生历程，描绘数学家和科研工作者的真实人生。
