Dynamic Meteorology is a fundamental branch of atmospheric science, which enables quantification of atmospheric motion to make accurate predictions of weather patterns. The book is designed as a text for students pursuing courses in Atmospheric Science, Meteorology, Oceanography, and Environmental Science at undergraduate and postgraduate level. The text is systematically developed with chapters on Sun, Earth and various physical processes involved in atmosphere. It assumes the reader to have basic knowledge of Calculus and Thermodynamiics and uses several approximations, without giving rigorous mathematical proofs, making the book simple and lucid.Features * Covers the complex subject of atmospheric processes in simple lucid way * General circulation of the atmosphere is described as zonal and meridional averages* Each chapter is followed by questions for self review

Salient features: · Covers the whole range of syllabus of all categories of pilot courses prescribed by DGCA, particularly CPL, ATPL, the ultimate courses. · As per the examination system of DGCA, multiple Choice (objective) questions with answers (about 1300) have been provided at the end of each chapter. · Also provided a miscellaneous Question Bank at the end of the book. · World Area Forecasts such as grid point data in digital and numerical form, prognostic charts of significant weather, SIGMET information, VOLMET Broad Cast are described sufficiently. · Meteorological observations consists of units of measurement, observatory set up, automatic weather observing system are covered. · Brief description of weather satellites, IMD Meteorological Data Processing system are given. · Aviation weather reports and Forecasts codes have been given which were evolved by WMO in consultation with ICAO. Great care has been taken to explain each term of the code - METAR, SPECI, CODAR, WINTEM Reports and TAF, ARFOR, ROFOR forecasts
