Editorial Reviews

Updated and enlarged from Seinfeld's 1989 . A textbook for senior or first- year graduate courses in atmospheric science within engineering, meteorological, or atmospheric science programs. The material can be adapted for courses ranging in length from one quarter or semester to a full academic year. Assumes introductory courses in thermodynamics, transport phenomena such as fluid mechanics or heat and mass transfer, and engineering mathematics to the level of differential equations.
