Turbulence in the Atmosphere
Based on his 40+ years of research and teaching, John Wyngaard's textbook is an excellent up-to-date introduction to turbulence in the atmosphere and in engineering flows for advanced students, and a reference work for researchers in the atmospheric sciences. Part I introduces the concepts and equations of turbulence. It includes a rigorous introduction to the principal types of numerical modeling of turbulent flows. Part II describes turbulence in the atmospheric boundary layer. Part III...

\ From the Publisher"...the exposition in Turbulence in the Atmosphere is systematic, clear, and self-contained. ... The author presents numerous problems, both qualitative and quantitative, at the end of each section, so the book could function well as a text for a course ... Wyngaard's accessible treatment of difficult topics also makes the book a useful reference. The author clearly enjoys the subject and the book is enjoyable to read." - Physics Today\ "Wyngaard writes very clearly.... I would recommend this excellent introduction to anyone who wishes to gain an overview of atmospheric turbulence." - Dale Hess, Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Journal, May 2011\ \ \
