Mesoscale-convective processes in the atmosphere

Mesoscale-convective processes in the atmosphere / Robert J. Trapp.

"This is the first modern textbook devoted solely to mesoscale-convective processes in the atmosphere. Such processes are realized in the form of thunderstorms and associated phenomena. Thunderstorms are dynamic and fast evolving, and can have high societal impact. For this reason it is becomin...
