Features: This book is a graduate textbook recommended by the Office of Graduate Education of the Ministry of Education. It is a summary of the author's long-term teaching and research practice in atmospheric dynamics. The main content is based on the fundamental concepts and methods in atmospheric dynamics, as well as some relatively mature theories that have recently developed, including preliminary vector and tensor operations, the basic equations of atmospheric motion, vortex motion in the atmosphere, quasigeostrophic motion and geostrophic momentum approximation in the atmosphere, the atmospheric boundary layer, the basic concepts and mathematical models of waves, Rossby waves in the atmosphere, and some nonlinear motions in the atmosphere. This book can be used as a graduate textbook or teaching reference for students majoring in atmospheric science, or as a reference for senior undergraduate students and researchers.
