Reviews for Dynamics of the Atmosphere: 'This book will be appreciated by readers who respect and require the mathematic rigour and completeness of mathematical derivations presented ... a valuable reference source.' International Journal of Climatology ' ...well written and illustrated ... I enthusiastically recommend it to any scientist seeking a comprehensive and accurate treatment f the major subject areas in modern atmospheric dynamics.' EOS '[Zdunkowsko and Bott] pull together all the components needed for understanding global meteorology, presenting them in a thorough and precise manner ... Recommended.' Choice Reviews for Thermodynamics of the Atmosphere: ' ... a useful reference for researchers in dynamic meteorology.' Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union 'This textbook is written for students and researchers in meteorology but nevertheless it is useful for all scientists in the field of thermodynamics, too.' ZAMM ; ... provides a useful introduction to scalar atmospheric radiative transfer for undergraduate and graduate students, and scientists who want to become familiar with the field.' EOS '... great care is taken in providing a mathematically correct and complete formalism which should also be appreciated by lecturers who use the book as a basis for their radiative transfer lecture. Another strength of this book is that it covers not only basic radiative transfer theory but also the underlying single scattering theory as well as the most important applications. As such, Radiation in the Atmosphere can probably replace three books: One about pure radiative transfer theory (like Chandrasekhar's Radiative Transfer), one about single scattering theory (like Bohren and Huffman's Absorption and Scattering of Light by Small Particles) and one about applications (remote sensing, clouds and climate). In summary, the book gives a precise overview about radiative transfer theory and related subjects.' Meteorologische Zeitschrift
