Features: This book is part of the achievements of the National Key Laboratory for Talented Cultivation in Basic Scientific Research and Teaching of Atmospheric Science, Ministry of Education. It serves as a senior undergraduate textbook for atmospheric science majors. Based on the book Weather Analysis and Forecasting, this edition integrates the latest developments in modern meteorology from both domestic and international research, explaining the fundamental principles of modern meteorology while briefly covering short-term climate, particularly topics related to China's monsoon. The book is divided into sections such as fundamental theories, atmospheric circulation, mid-latitude weather and systems, tropical weather and systems, small and medium-scale weather and systems, the monsoon, and China's precipitation. Its main features include rich content, novel insights, and an organic connection between thermodynamics, dynamics, and meteorology, offering a relatively in-depth discussion of weather and climate in China and its surrounding regions. This book is suitable for undergraduate students in atmospheric science, applied meteorology, and environmental science, as well as researchers engaged in weather forecasting and short-term climate prediction.
