As you discover new errors, either enter them into the Blackboard/Connect course management system if you are a student in Stull's course, or please email the details to me: rstull at eos.ubc.ca . Be sure to locate them with chapter, page, column (right or left), paragraph, and line number, so that other readers and I can find it. Thanks.

Ch1, p2, top left column, in the "A Scientific Perspective" box, second bullet point, "solve" is typed twice..
.
p30, Figure 2.5: there should be a close parenthesis after December when referring to the winter solstice..
.
.
pg. 58, "Heat and Buddget of an Unsaturated air parcel", the first sentence is slightly awkward. I think there is a work missing or a punctuation.
p60, left column, in the "Sample Application" box, 5th to last
line: I think there is a division symbol ("/") missing between
the two brackets (however, the final answer calculated in the next line
is correct).
.
.
p90, left column, in the "INFO" box, 14th line from the top: the unit for To should be "K" instead of "Ka."
pg 101 The sentence switches from talking about an unsaturated air parcel to a saturated air parcel. ?? "An air parcel rising adiabatically has two competing processes that affect its temperature. As for the unsaturated parcel, the saturated parcel expands into regions of lower pressure, doing work on the atmosphere at the expense of thermal energy stored in the parcel."
p102, right column in the "Moist Adiabats on a Thermo Diagram". The sentence reads "...where "dry" mean unsaturated humid air" and I think it should read "...where "dry" meanS unsaturated humid air".
.
.
p129, left column, the 5th line of 2nd paragraph, "alone" should be "along".p130, right column, 3rd to last line: "after precipitation is finished, if there is subsequent ascent or descent, the you....". I believe "the" should be "then."
p136, right column, 2nd line below eq.(5.3d), "then" should be "than".
.
.
.Ch6, p164, right column (top), 4th line: "don't let the suffix 'cumulus' in fool you." --- in can be omitted.
.
.
.
.
.
p244, left column Sample Application and right column Table 8-7. Refractive index N is dimensionless. Hence, gradients such as ∆N/∆z should have units of 1/km or 1/m . (Newtons are not part of the units of refractive index gradient.).
.
.
p. 268 - in the last sentence of the second paragraph from the top
of the page, "observations" is spelled incorrectly, and there is no
period at the end of the sentence.
.
.
p299, left column, in the "INFO" box, 3rd to last line: the "FCNH-ns" should be FCNH-ew.
p289,right column, 3rd paragraph, 5th to last line, the "horizontal component" cannot match with the "non-horizontal" in p297, left column, Coriolis Force, 5th line.
p 303. Sample Application . In the given section, change in x is
different than the one provided in the question itself. In the
question is says 200 km, but in the given section it says 400 km.
However, the calculation answer still uses 200 km.
page 317, right column, in the "Sample Application" box, 6th to last
line: I believe the unit of (delta Rho)/(delta t) should be
kg.m^-3.s^-1.
page 318 of ch 10, you have figure 10.62, but the sentence below it indicated figure 10.26 instead.
.
.
Ch11, p330, left column, in Figure 11.2, along the equator: shouldn't it be "equatorial" and not "equitorial"?
Ch11, 335, left column, in the first new paragraph between eqns 11.3
& 11.4, 2nd to last line: it should say caused by the strong mixing
and heat transport by the Hadley circulations.
.
At the very top of p. 344, it says "...then pressures at any fixed
latitude much also change in the horizontal." I think it should say
"must also change in the horizontal." Also, on the same page, just
above equation 11.12, it says "Defined a "disturbance" as the region
that was initially forced out of equilibrium." I think it should say
"Define a disturbance..."
p. 363 first paragraph of main text (where the tangential current-
or wind-vectors do indeed start at the same dotted line and end at the
same dashed line in Fig. 11.43a) -> it seems to be referring to Fig.
11.43b .
p371. Caption of Fig. 11.52: It says "...where the effect of static
stability is mimicked with at atmosphere...". I think it should say
"mimicked with an atmosphere." Also, there are two periods at the end
of that figure caption, and there should only be one.

.p 427, section CYCLONE EVOLUTION: spelling error with missing spaces related to BAROCLINIC ZONE.
p427, left column, 3rd line of the 2nd paragraph from the top: All the words are attached to each other (i.e. spaces between words are not present). It should be "temperature change across a short horizontal distance."
p445, left column, 10th to last line: the word "is" should be "its" in that sentence.
p. 448, top of second paragraph, says: "Closer to the leading edge of the front where the cold air is shallower, the winds M subgeostrophic because of the greater drag." There is a missing "are" between "M" and "geostrophic."
p. 452, third paragraph from top, says: In the troposphere, most of
this inflow happens a mid-levels..." I think this should say "happens
AT mid-levels..."
.

pg. 563, Info section: "113 people died in 1975 at when....", I think "at"should be removed.
p. 575, just below equation (15.33), it says: "where is the reference temperature T_0=293 K." I'm assuming this is supposed to say either "where the reference temperature is..." or "where T_0=293 K is the reference temperature."
p576. right column, near eq. (15.38). Need to mention that T must be in Kelvin.
.

pg. 652 in Chapter 17. top right, first paragraph. It says "use the approximation above", but I belive it should be "use approximation below".
p 679, left column, first line. Correct spelling of "temperature".
p 679, right column. Need to replace Fig. 17.42 with info that
is more representative of actual cities, such as will appear in Prof.
Tim Oke's new book on Urban Climates.

p725, right column, Table 19-1. PM10 is not typically
referred to as 'Fine Particulates'. The fine fraction begins at
< 2.5 um. So re-label in the table as:
PM10: coarse + fine particulates and
PM2.5: fine particulates
