Volland H. Atmospheric Tidal and Planetary Waves

Dordrecht: Kluwer, 1988. — 348 p.In this book, I have tried to present a unifying view about large-scale tidal and planetary wave excitation and propagation within the whole atmosphere from the ground to the exosphere. Roughly equal emphasis is placed on the three regions of the lower, middle, and upper atmosphere. No single individual can possibly assemble the total present knowledge in this field, which is distributed in hundreds of books and many thousands of papers scattered in dozens of scientific journals written in several languages. The selection in this book depends therefore on the author's preferences and is far from complete. Certainly, many important papers, in particular from the non-English writing scientific community, have not been cited in this book, and the author apologizes for these omissions.
Bonn, June 1987 Hans Volland.
