Recent progress in atmospheric sciences : applications to the Asia-Pacific region / editors, K.N. Liou, M.D. Chou ; executive editor, H.-H. Hsu.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

This book contains 22 peer-reviewed articles that cover a spectrum of contemporary subjects relevant to atmospheric sciences, with specific applications to the Asia-Pacific region. The majority of these papers consist of a review of a scientific sub-field in atmospheric sciences, while some contain original contributions. All of the accepted papers were subject to scientific reviews and revisions.
