The Weather and Climate of Australia and New Zealand


Overview

Written to meet the needs of those interested in the atmospheric processes and phenomena of Australia and New Zealand, this book provides an introduction to the basic concepts that form the foundation of weather and climate in the Australasian region. It examines weather and climate characteristics over a range of scales and sections of the area. The important issue of climate change and variability is also examined in depth with particular emphasis on this region. Throughout the text, the authors have made a particular effort to cater for students who are just developing an interest in the subject, and for those undertaking research that requires a good basic understanding of atmospheric processes and their operation in this region.
