"According to a new book written by Surrey's Professor Ian Roulstone and
Oxford University's Professor John Norbury, the weather will never be
entirely predictable, despite being one of the most highly studied and
technologically advanced sciences in the modern world.

" 'Invisible in the Storm: The Role of Mathematics in Understanding
Weather' explores how mathematics and meteorology come together [...]
taking readers on a fascinating journey through the work of trailblazing
scientists over the past 100 years."


Stephen.

Yes, must be about the most readable technical meteorology book I have
ever read. I thought I noticed an error near the top of p.182, where it
flatly contradicted something in the middle of the previous page. I
communicated this to Princeton UP but got no reply, so perhaps the error
might have been mine.

You are more likely to get a reply by contacting the lead author:
Ian Roulstone. His university page is here with his email at the bottom. (I
won't post his email address in case it is harvested.)

For those who would like a taste of the book without forking out, there is a
short article here by the authors:
