Features: This book concisely and systematically summarizes the fundamental issues in the study of dynamic meteorology of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (atmospheric dynamics and related atmospheric thermodynamics), as well as the latest research findings by scholars at home and abroad on these issues. It particularly introduces the methods and progress in the study of atmospheric dynamics on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The book is divided into eight chapters, covering topics such as the climatic characteristics of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the major weather systems on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the fundamentals of atmospheric dynamics on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the thermal effects on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the dynamic effects on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the adaptive theory of atmospheric motion on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the wave theory of atmospheric motion on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. This book can serve as a textbook or reference for graduate courses and advanced undergraduate elective courses in atmospheric science, as well as for researchers, educators, and professionals in meteorology or related fields.
