Tornado outbreak in Central Oklahoma: Potential for new science with high-

resolution polarimetric radar. Bull. Amer. Meteor. Soc. (accepted)

431 pp. Textbook for upper-division undergraduate and graduate students, and reference source, on the analysis of scalar and vector fields, atmospheric dynamics, and dry and moist thermodynamics. The five chapters include

material on the vorticity equation, potential vorticity, isentropic coordinates,

turbulent friction, quasigeostrophic theory, objective analysis, and modern

observing systems such as Doppler radar and wind Profilers.
Reviewed in Meteorologica, Dec. 1992, p. 52; Bull. Amer. Meteor. Soc., May 1993, pp. 876 - 877; Weather, June 1993, pp. 191 - 192.

Press, New York., 594 pp. Textbook for upper-division undergraduate and graduate students, and reference source, on the behavior of synoptic-scale systems in the context of

both quasigeostrophic theory in pressure coordinates and isentropic vorticity

(IPV) analysis, frontal theory and observations, and precipitation systems in midlatitudes. The three chapters include material on surface and upper-level fronts, coastal fronts, the dryline, density-current dynamics, jets, global height and temperature climatology, the geostrophic-momentum approximation and

the semigeostrophic equations, symmetric and conditional symmetric instability, convective cells and mesoscale convective systems, mesoscale precipitation bands, and ducted gravity waves.
