This beginning graduate-level text treats in detail the relations between internal, potential, and kinetic energy in the atmosphere. The first part of the book describes the generation, transformation, and dissipation of the basic energy quantities in the global atmosphere and the subdivision of these forms of energy in a number of energy reservoirs. The second part covers energetics in open domains and presents the major results of observational studies. Individual chapters discuss energetics of the tropics and the Southern Hemisphere and of such phenomena as the jet stream and stationary eddies. This will be a valuable text for advanced students in atmospheric dynamics.
