"Mesoscale-Convective Processes in the Atmosphere" by Robert J. Trapp

This textbook provides students, researchers, and weather professionals with a fresh and cutting-edge treatment of thunderstorms and associated mesoscale phenomena like tornadoes. The book provides in-depth discussions of the observations and prediction of extreme and hazardous convective weather, as well as its dynamical evolution.

This textbook seeks to promote a deep yet accessible understanding of mesoscale-convective processes in the atmosphere. Modern explanations of the convective-storm dynamics, and of the related development of tornadoes, damaging "straight-line" winds, and heavy rainfall, are provided.
Students and weather professionals will benefit especially from unique chapters devoted to observations and measurements of mesoscale phenomena, mesoscale prediction and predictability, and dynamical feedbacks between mesoscale-convective processes and larger-scale motions.
