It is beyond spectacular. In a world where science "texts" often are full of old and/or misinformation, it is refreshing to see a book like this. The science, both mathematically and conceptually, is flawless and state of the art. Furthermore, the scientists who authored this book have a stellar reputation that should be awed. This book should go down with some of the bests ever written in the field of meteorology, even as the science evolves -- possibly making the work in this book obsolete. This is a book that EVERY forecaster should have, regardless of one' specialty!
