The Physics and Parameterization of Moist Atmospheric Convection [E-Book] / edited by Roger K. Smith.
An up-to-date summary of our understanding of the dynamics and thermodynamics of moist atmospheric convection, with a strong focus on recent developments in the field. The book also reviews ways in which moist convection may be parameterised in large-scale numerical models - a field in which there i...
