This textbook gives a thorough introduction to the dynamics of weather. It provides readers with a basic understanding of the complex phenomena and their underlying processes. A rigorous mathematical derivation of all results and numerous figures are also included in the book to help illustrate and interpret weather maps, weather forecasts, atmospheric data and the output of atmospheric models.

About Me
I am a Research Scientist in the Earth System Modelling and Prediction group involved in the BMBF A Coming Decade - Decadal-scale prospects for Europe and EU-funded ASPECT projects. My research is currently focused on decadal prediction of European summer climate, including physical drivers such as Atlantic Multidecadal Variability. My general research interests concern climate prediction and predictability, tropical–extratropical teleconnections, climate variability on interannual…
When I studied Physics, I kept thinking about how to combine my passion for solving equations and physical reasoning with a task that I found reasonable, meaningful, and socially relevant. Thus, climate science was, and continues to be, the perfect fit for me.
I did my PhD in a project called 'Tipping Points of the Earth System'. My role was to explore the Dansgaard-Oeschger events, a series of tipping events that occurred during the last glacial cycle and comprised abrupt changes in the…
