Synoptic and Dynamic Climatology
Editorial Reviews
Review
Barry and Carleton's remarkable work shows just how far the discipline has come in the last couple of centuries, and provides a sound platform from which to speculate about future developments. The authors clearly have the combined experience and gravitas neccessary to undertake such a task...In summary, this text represents a significant benchmark against which all future publications in sypnotic and dynamic climatology will undoubtedly be measured.
-International Journal of Climatology
...the book's thorough review of climate dynamics is a major accomplishment and contribution to the literature.There are many things to like about [this book]. It's presentation is clear and straightforward, and it is very well written and organized...an invaluable reference source that will well serve the community...an excellent resource for university graduate education...an excellent introduction to any and all...successfully fills a major void for anyone interested in the many facets of climate dynamics-Jeffrey C. Rogers, Department of Geography, Ohio State University, Columbus, OH.
The book provides good coverage of satellite-based climatology and its synoptic features. I highly recommend [it] on the basis of its style, accessibility, and well-organized content.

This up to date work is an expansive summary of both the dynamic mechanics of the global climate system as well as tropical and extratropical synoptic weather systems.

Book Description
This book provides the first comprehensive account of the dynamical behaviour and mechanisms of the global climate system and its components, together with a modern survey of synoptic-scale weather systems in the tropics and extratropics.
