[Proflist] I need textbook recommendation for senior climate course

[Alan Robock]

Dear Colleagues,

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little out of date.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

Alan
