Climate and circulation of the tropics

`
The diagrams in this book contain a wealth of information...this is a major reference book that would be most useful to research workers in tropical climatology. I am glad to have a copy of this valuable book, and I feel strongly that my research students would benefit from it. Hastenrath should be commended for this painstaking effort.

`
The author has provided a significant service to the meteorological community by making available, under one cover, the major aspects of our current understanding of tropical climate, with consideration of time scales ranging from the diurnal to the geologic, and space scales ranging from the "local" to the planetary. The suse of examples from a wide range of geographical locations in the tropics is a very positive aspect of this book. ...should also serve as an important reference work for the research community, not only in meteorology, but in oceanography and other environmental sciences.
