| Tips: Tips for instructors: Most of the figures are vector graphics, which means they are sharp when enlarged. So you can use your laptop in class and zoom-in on any figure in the book to project on the screen. Tips for TAs and students: Most of the "Apply" questions at the end of each chapter have a corresponding Sample Application in the body of the chapter. So first program the Sample Application into your spreadsheet and fix it if needed until you get the correct answer (an answer that agrees with my answer). Then change a few numbers to correspond to the assigned exercise to answer the homework -- you will likely get fewer wrong homework answers this way. |

Date: Aug 15, 2019 The best account of Kohler that have seen is in a book by Roland B Stull, called Meteorology for Scientists and Engineers published by Brooks Cole. It is unusual in that he is trying to get people to understand the subject rather than be impressed by the author which intimidates instead. He is very good about putting units and sanity checks everywhere and giving clear definitions of meteorological terms some of which are strange to people from outside the field. Stephen Salter Emeritus Professor of Engineering Design School of Engineering University of Edinburgh, Mayfield Road, Edinburgh EH9 3DW Scotland ======= |
Date: Aug 15, 2017 Roland, ...Thanks also for your update on the colorization of the figures! Your book is an excellent resource and you are doing a great service to the weather community! I teach for Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's Worldwide Campus -- our instructors and students are located all over the world. Cheers, Shelly Dr. Michelle Whisenhant Assistant Professor College of Arts and Sciences Department of Mathematics, Physical & Life Sciences Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University - Worldwide ======== |
Date: Mon, Apr 18, 2016 Subject: Re: Stull's new meteorology text book I have already visited his site a few weeks back and have made the decision to adopt this text for my intro to met class. Having looked through it, I can say that the book is very well-rounded, richly and professionally illustrated, with some great supplementary (boxed) material for deeper dives. Roland is a wonderful writer, with exceptionally clear expositions. Props to Roland for making available this resource, in a time when text prices are escalating, and so many of them do not provide any quantitative degree of rigor. It's a text AND an exercise manual rolled up into one! -- Jeffrey B. Halverson, Ph.D. Professor of Meteorology, Dept. Geography and Environmental Systems Graduate Program Director University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) ======== |
Date: Jun 26, 2016 Subject: Re: meteorology textbook - - algebra-based Hi Roland, Thank you so much for writing this textbook and for making it freely available. I am very familiar with its predecessor "Meteorology for Scientists and Engineers"…I’ve almost worn out my paper copy! I have found that these algebra-based books are useful even for more advanced students; after all, when writing numerical models we need to convert derivatives to finite differences anyway. Kaj Williams Asst. Research Professor Dept. of Earth Sciences Montana State University ======== |
Date: May 5, 2016 Subject: Re: meteorology textbook This is an amazing resource. As an undergraduate I used (and loved) your Meteorology for Scientists and Engineers text. I currently recommend that book to all my undergraduate students as a resource. This new book looks like it will be event better! Thank you! ~Jennifer Griswold Assistant Professor of Meteorology Meteorology Department, University of Hawaii ======== |
