About the Book: Tropical Meteorology
Meteorology, climatology, atmospheric physics, and atmospheric chemistry are
sub-disciplines of the atmospheric sciences. Meteorology and hydrology compose
the interdisciplinary field of hydrometeorology. Interactions between Earths
atmosphere and the oceans are part of coupled oceanatmosphere studies.
Meteorology has application in many diverse fields such as the military, energy
production, transport, agriculture and construction. Fundamental science of the
tropical atmosphere and synthesizes the tremendous increase in our knowledge of
tropical meteorology during the past two decades. In that same period, great
advances also occurred in learning technologies; allowing students to learn
through interactivity and access to real data.
