This book is focused on the atmosphere in the marine environment. It is designed as a cross-disciplinary science that studies, applies, and explains the special nature of the atmosphere at sea, and how these weather conditions can impact everything from marine transportation to coastal communities. Comprehensive, with examples and problems throughout, this book is for teaching undergraduate and graduate students in meteorology, oceanography, and ocean engineering.
