Features: This book is a key textbook for the "Nineth Five-Year Plan" of the Ministry of Education in the field of general higher education. The book is divided into five parts: (1) Introduction to the Atmosphere; (2) Fundamentals of Atmospheric Physics, including Atmospheric Radiation, Atmospheric Thermodynamics, and Atmospheric Dynamics; (3) Physics of the Atmospheric Boundary Layer; (4) Fundamentals of Cloud and Precipitation Physics and Atmospheric Electricity; (5) Atmospheric Optics, GPS Meteorology, and Atmospheric Acoustics. The section on Atmospheric Dynamics is relatively concise, included to ensure the completeness and systematicity of the book. The sections on Atmospheric Optics and Acoustics are particularly distinctive in domestic textbooks of a similar nature. They not only introduce atmospheric light and sound phenomena but also provide an in-depth discussion of the fundamental theories of atmospheric optics and sound scattering, facilitating further research for readers. GPS Meteorology is a relatively new field that has developed in recent years. This book is designed as a professional textbook for undergraduate students in atmospheric science at universities and colleges. It can also be used as a learning and reference material for undergraduate or graduate students in related fields, as well as for professionals working in atmospheric science and atmospheric environmental studies.
