A Short Course in Cloud Physics
Covers essential parts of cloud and precipitation physics and has been extensively rewritten with over 60 new illustrations and many new and up to date references. Many current topics are covered such as mesoscale meteorology, radar cloud studies and numerical cloud modelling, and topics from the second edition, such as severe storms, precipitation processes and large scale aspects of cloud physics, have been revised. Problems are included as examples and to supplement the text.
Microphysics of Clouds and Precipitation
Cloud physics has achieved such a voluminous literature over the past few decades that a significant quantitative study of the entire field would prove unwieldy. This book concentrates on one major aspect: cloud microphysics, which involves the processes that lead to the formation of individual cloud and precipitation particles. Common practice has shown that one may distinguish among the following addi tional major aspects: cloud dynamics, which is concerned with the physics respon sible for the macroscopic features of clouds; cloud electricity, which deals with the electrical structure of clouds and the electrification processes of cloud and precipi tation particles; and cloud optics and r...

Mostly Cloudy
This textbook is written primarily for upper-level undergraduate meteorology students who require an introduction to the physics and observed properties of clouds and precipitation, building upon their knowledge of atmospheric thermodynamics that they have already typically gained from a meteorology curriculum. Graduate students new to the field of atmospheric science may also find this textbook useful as an introductory treatment of the topic; more advanced treatments of various concepts are recommended at the end of each chapter to allow these students to pursue additional independent study. This textbook introduces the student to commonly-used terminology in the field, explains theoretical concepts both qualitatively and quantitatively, and provides evidence to support those concepts from observations collected within both field campaigns and laboratory studies, and from the results of numerical simulations.
