Midlatitude Synoptic Meteorology

Gary Lackmann is a professor of atmospheric sciences at North Carolina State University's Department of Marine, Earth, and Atmospheric Sciences. He is the author of Midlatitude Synoptic Meteorology.

The last decade has seen significant advancements in meteorological observation, computing techniques, and data visualization technology. However, the full benefit of these advancements will not be realized until a systematic, applied approach to meteorological education is implemented, allowing well-established theoretical concepts to be applied to modernized observational and numerical datasets.

Midlatitude Synoptic Meteorology connects theoretical concepts to modern technology and makes it easier to apply concepts, theories, and techniques to real-world data. As such, it will benefit those considering careers in meteorological research and weather prediction while also serving as a model for the use of modern technology in the classroom and laboratory.

This text is intended for undergraduates and beginning graduate students in the atmospheric sciences and covers synoptic-dynamic meteorology, synoptically driven mesoscale phenomena, weather forecasting, and numerical weather prediction in depth. The book is regarded as one of the best books on meteorology.
