Synoptic–Dynamic Meteorology and Weather Analysis and Forecasting
A Tribute to Fred Sanders
Lance F. Bosart and Howard B. Bluestein, Eds.
 Key scientific research by authors including Kerry Emanuel, Robert Burpee, Edwin Kessler, and Louis Uccellini illustrates the evolution of the fields of synoptic meteorology, weather analysis, forecasting, and climatology. It is published in honor of the late Fred Sanders, emeritus professor of meteorology at MIT, whose influence was vast: he coined the term “bomb” for explosively intensifying winter storms; he established the roles of low-level horizontal confluence and convergence in frontal collapse; and he invented the field of oceanic mesometeorology. This monograph is both an essential tool for educating future weather researchers and a testament to Sanders’s legacy of teaching. ©2008, 440 pages hardcover Meteorological Monograph Vol. 33 No. 55

Meteorology of the Southern Hemisphere
Edited by David J. Karoly and Dayton G. Vincent
A comprehensive monograph of the meteorology of the Southern Hemisphere
was originally published by the American Meteorological Society in 1972.
That monograph was, of necessity, preliminary in nature because the available
time series of observational data was short. In the quarter century that
has passed since the first monograph, much has happened to warrant an updated
edition: new observational techniques based on satellites, anchored and drifting
buoys, and more ground-based stations have expanded the observational network
to cover the whole hemisphere. The time is right, therefore, for a fresh
look at the circulation features of the Southern Hemisphere, both for the
atmosphere and oceans. 1999. Meteorological Monograph

The monograph is divided into six parts. Part I provides an overview
of the problem, including descriptions of cumulus clouds and the effects
of ensembles of cumulus clouds on mass, momentum, and vorticity distributions.
A review of closure assumptions is also provided. A review of "classical"
convection schemes in widespread use is provided in Part II. The special
problems associated with the representation of convection in mesoscale models
are discussed in Part III, along with descriptions of some of the commonly
used mesoscale schemes. Part IV covers some of the problems associated with
the representation of convection in climate models, while the parameterization
of slantwise convection is the subject of Part V. The monograph concludes
with a single paperbound describing some recent and very promising efforts
to use explicit numerical simulations of ensembles of convective clouds to
test cumulus representations.

Precipitation Enhancement: A Scientific Challenge
Edited by Roscoe R. Braham, Jr.
This volume had its origin in a workshop held at Park City, Utah,
23-25 May 1984. The objective of the workshop was to provide an opportunity
for cloud physicists to assess the status of knowledge and understanding
about the physics of precipitation formation in clouds and the response of
clouds to glaciogenic seeding. All paperbounds were by invitation. Half of
the time was given to discussion and debate sparked by 4 major review paperbounds
and 14 short reports. Restriction of the workshop to scientific aspects of
glaciogenic seeding for precipitation enhancement was intentional.

The Callendar Effect
by James Rodger Fleming
This is the untold story of the remarkable scientist who established the
carbon dioxide theory of climate change. Guy Stewart Callendar discovered
that global warming could be brought about by increases in the concentration
of atmospheric carbon dioxide due to human activities, primarily through
burning fossil fuels. He did this in 1938! Using never-before-published original
scientific correspondence, notebooks, family letters, and photographs, science
historian James Rodger Fleming introduces us to one of Britain’s leading
engineers and explains his life and work through two World Wars to his
continuing legacy as the scientist who established The Callendar Effect.
