Cold climate hydrometeorology

This volume covers elements of Meteorology and Climatology, principles of Hydrometeorology especially as applied to snowbound basins, Glaciology illustrating features of Indian glaciers and avalanche formation over the Himalayas. It is intended to meet the requirements of students taking degree/post graduate courses in Hydrology, Meteorology, Geophysics, Geography and Civil and Water Resource Engineering. University researchers as well as operational scientists and engineers working in areas related to water resource development and atmospheric sciences will also find it very useful, particularly because the subject matter has been treated and illustrated in the Indian context.
