In the selected works of Yale Mintz, he & his colleagues analyze & treat crucial problems in large scale atmospheric & oceanic circulation. The simulation of meteorological processes, largely using general circulation models, was put on a sound physical basis. These studies contributed significantly to improving our understanding of the processes that govern our climate. The topics range from observation studies of atmospheric momentum fluxes to the influence of surface moisture on precipitation, & include studies of the atmospheres of Mars & Venus. Some of these works are not easily available because they date back to the early fifties. The book is of interest to students & researchers alike.
