Reviews
From the reviews:
“This is a comprehensive study of monsoon systems around the world. … Saha provides a useful body of work that offers explanations for tropical circulations and monsoon systems, which will undoubtedly benefit the operational meteorologist and student alike.” (Neil Armstrong, Weather, Vol. 68 (9), September, 2013)
“It appeals to those who are doing research in the field of tropical meteorology, especially in the specialty of monsoons. It is suitable as a reference book … for a course on tropical meteorology or monsoons. … The description part of the book serves as a good source of information, and the interpretation part of it provides good points for discussion and debate. … I would recommend this book to students and researchers … and who are, or intend to become, specialists in tropical meteorology.” (Winston Chao, Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, January, 2012)Authors and Affiliations
