Review
"...this book will, like some of its illustrious predecessors, serve as a useful starting point for the uninitiated in the field..." -- WMO Bulletin

"A treasure trove for researchers...an indispensible reference for anyone interested in moutains." -- Arctic and Alpine Research

. . . a comprehensive treatment of the elements, processes, and controls of mountain climates. . . . On the one hand, it should satisfy the mountain crowd, ranging from alpine aficionados to serious scholars in all branches of mountain science; on the other, it is a must read for meteorologists and climatologists.
–Professional Geographer

Review
"For colleagues with diverse interests in the atmosphere, glaciers, radiation, landforms, water resources, vegetation, human implications, and more, Mountain Weather and Climate can be a valuable source of guidance and literature references . . . The two earlier editions are held at hundreds of libraries worldwide, and this updated version will indubitably also find wide distribution."
