Editorial Review:
This new, comprehensive textbook for upper-division undergraduate and graduate students of meteorology presents for the first time information that is now considered essential in modern weather forecasting. Based on a successful series of courses taught by the author at the University of Oklahoma, the text carefully examines the foundations of synoptic meteorology, from the analysis of scalar fields to atmospheric kinematics, dynamics, and thermodynamics. Newer topics such as Q-vectors, and modern observing systems such as Doppler radar are discussed, and several detailed figures and many helpful problems are included. This timely work emphasizes both physical understanding and mathematical analysis, and clearly explains observations in light of current theory. It will be a valuable reference for weather forecasters and researchers as well as students.

Great reference, good price 2008-04-09
This book (and the Vol. II) is a good reference for meteorological basis on phisics and atmospheric sciences itself, I already had thought about buying it here in Brasil (country that I live) but they would cost me about 120 bucks each volume, since on amazon it ended up for about 60 each delivered in my house (ok, It took 4 weeks, but it's a long way for a legless book!!) and, like all my products so far, they arrived in perfect shape.
I've been using those from the library for 3 semesters now, on atmos. dynamics I, Synoptic meteor., micrometeorology and other courses... I'm shure it will be used much more in the future.
Very Useful Reference Text 2002-05-16
This is the 1st of 2 books written by Dr. Bluestein to teach synoptic and dynamic meteorology to undergraduate college students. Unlike other textbooks, this textbook takes the time to show alot more of the steps in the derivation of equations used in meteorology. Of course this has added to the size of the book but the fact that the author has taken the care to include this in his book is quite helpful for those learning meteorology. It is a useful reference book.
