Dear Friends,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I have released another version of my AOFD book. You can download it from </div>
<div class=""> <a href="http://empslocal.ex.ac.uk/people/staff/gv219/aofd/index.html" class="">http://empslocal.ex.ac.uk/people/staff/gv219/aofd/index.html</a></div>
<div class="">The main addition is a treatment of El Niño and the Southern Oscillation. The main addition in the previous release (last autumn) was a chapter on moist dynamics and the tropical circulation. (I am slowly becoming aware that half the world in
equatorward of 30 degs.) </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">This will be the last major release of the book before publication. However, I will be making many corrections and revisions, including to the tropical chapter (which solicited many comments - thank you), various corrections to the waves chapters,
and editing throughout. I will also be making available various codes that I have used in the book - e.g., shallow water code, a model of the QBO etc. These will all be quietly posted on my website in the weeks ahead. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Please pass this email on to colleagues, especially, students and postdocs, as appropriate. And <i class=""><b class="">please send comments to me, both major and minor. </b></i></div>
