Reader Reviews
This review is from: Short Course in Cloud Physics (Monographs in Natural Philosophy) (Hardcover)
There are very few stand-alone cloud physics text books on the market. More often than not only a chapter is devoted to clouds in a general atmospheric sciences text book, which grossly neglects the complexity of the subject. Fortunately this one does provide a terrific introduction for students/researchers in atmospheric sciences/physics/engineering who want to learn more about clouds. Basic concepts are presented in a consice but often mathy way. Sometimes the empirical equations can throw the readers off a bit. Unfortunately these catches are almost inevitable in cloud physics. A great merit of this book is its size. A well-designed undergraduate course can definitely go through most of the topics. At the same time there is enough detailed information that the interested instructors and students can develop term projects or simple models using the book as a reference. In all I highly recommend this text as an introduction to cloud physics. Advanced researchers in the field, however, will need a more extensive reference, such as Pruppacher and Klett.
