This book is a practical guide about the great combination of interpreting satellite water vapor imagery and potential vorticity of numerical weather model output. The author illustrate how this two elements create a better atmospheric thermodynamic analysis and improve the weather forecast. Many meteorological phenomena are studied using this combination, such as: deep convection, tropical cyc…
This textbook is presented to advanced students, researchers, and weather professionals who seek a deep understanding of mesoscale-convective processes in the atmosphere. The contents consist of theoretical foundations, observations and mesoscale data analysis, mesoscale numerical modelling, initiation of deep convective clouds, elemental convective processes, mesoscale convective systems, meso…
