Fronts and the Mid-latitude Wave Cyclone -- Chapter 24. Thunderstorms -- Chapter 25. Lightning -- Chapter 26. Tornadoes and Waterspouts -- Chapter 27. Advising the Public about the Severe Weather Risk -- Chapter 28. Tropical Cyclones -- Chapter 29. Coastal Flooding -- Chapter 30. Coastal Drought -- Chapter 31. Winter Storms -- Chapter 32.

This is a textbook for non-atmospheric specialists who work in the coastal zone. Its purpose will be to help coastal environmental, engineering, and planning professionals to understand coastal atmospheric processes. This in turn will allow more effective communication with climate modelers, atmospheric environmental consultants, and members of the media. The coastal environment is among the most intensively used and chronically abused components of the Earth-ocean-atmosphere system. It is also home to an ever-increasing proportion of humanity with their increasing development, trade, transportation, and industrial activities, amid increasing impacts of natural hazards. The atmosphere is an integral part of the system, with all of the above human activities affecting and being affected by atmospheric processes and hazards. Yet few of the specialists studying the coastal environment have expertise on atmospheric processes, this therefore presents a highly relevant textbook on coastal atmospheric processes.
