Dear Colleagues,<br>
<br>
I will be teaching a course in climate dynamics to our senior<br>
undergraduate meteorology majors in the Fall, and wonder if anyone can<br>
recommend the optimal textbook. I am thinking about using Hartmann's<br>
Physical Climatology, which works well for a graduate class, but is a<br>
little out of date. I will use the AR4 IPCC report and recent papers as<br>
supplements, but wonder if there is a good book that explains the<br>
climate system and climate change at the right level. Thanks.<br>
<br>
Alan<br>
