Constructed around five environmental scenarios: tropospheric ozone concentration, surface wind flows, regional hydrology, local hydrology and acid rain. Applies five sets of analytical methods for each scenario: correlation-based map classification, subjective map interpretation, subjective circulation indices, eigenvector-based map classification and air-mass-based synoptic climatologies. This is a richly illustrated text which uses real observational data as examples.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eManual Classification.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Correlation-Based Map-Pattern Classification.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Eigenvector-Based Classifications.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Compositing, Indexing and Specification.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Relationships Between the Atmospheric Circulation and the SurfaceEnvironment.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Future of Synoptic Climatology.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e References.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Science: general issues [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Science: general issues\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Science:%20general%20issues%20%5BPD%5D%22\"\u003ePD\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52298074980632,"sku":"9780471947967","price":335.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471947967.jpg?v=1781734746","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/synoptic-climatology-in-environmental-analysis-a-primer-hardback-9780471947967","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
