This book contains 22 peer-reviewed articles that cover a spectrum of  contemporary subjects relevant to atmospheric sciences, with specific  applications to the Asia-Pacific region. The majority of these papers consist  of a review of a scientific sub-field in atmospheric sciences, while some  contain original contributions. All of the accepted papers were subject to  scientific reviews and revisions.    The book is divided into 2 traditional fields in atmospheric sciences:  atmospheric dynamics and meteorology; and atmospheric physics and  chemistry. The authors of these papers are distinguished alumni of the  Department of Atmospheric Sciences at the National Taiwan University, residing  in the USA and Taiwan. This book is dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the  Department of Atmospheric Sciences that occurred in 2004.    Papers in atmospheric dynamics and meteorology cover the following subjects:  El Nino/Southern Oscillation, air/sea interactions, convection in the  tropics, meiyu frontal systems, tropical cyclones/typhoons, data  assimilations, and mesoscale modeling. In atmospheric physics and chemistry,  subjects range from aerosols/clouds interactions, heat budgets in the context  of air/sea interactions, atmospheric radiative transfer, remote sensing of the  oceans, Asian dust outbreaks and clouds, reviews of cloud microphysics and  urban ozone formations, to a satellite GPS system for typhoon studies and  weather predictions.
