This book is addressed to those who wish to understand the relationship between atmospheric phenomena and the nature of matter as expressed in the principles of physics.

This book will be welcomed by students and professionals in meteorology, physical oceanography, physics and ocean engineering.

The report summarizes the present status of a continuing investigation into the mysteries of the small-scale atmospheric vortex, usually known as the 'dust devil' or 'whirlwind'.

A fixed layer in the stable atmosphere near the ground shows a remarkable correlation between Delta-u and Delta-Theta when the average Ri number is larger than 0.08.
