On this page you will find comments, notes and data to the chapters in the book. You can also find the errata for each of the chapters (thank you so much to those of you who have contributed so far (especially: Nicolai Gayle Nygaard, DONG Energy, now Ørsted; Wim Bierbooms, TU Delft), please do keep them coming!). This will be updated as more becomes available.
Equation 2.3 (p 12): the unit vector k points in the vertical direction (not as described below the equation)
6th line from bottom on p27: typo: "fictional" > "frictional"
Exercise 2.5 (p 28): in the solution I have put 10 Pa, it should have been 10hPa, so the answer on page 176 should have been Px=1.63 N/kg (note that the per kg means that we are looking at the forces acting on an air parcel of unit weight (1 kg)). Thank you, Bianca, for poiting out an error in the original errata!

3rd line on p 49: I mean that the accuracy of the wind vane is typically a few degrees (I should have been more careful, sorry!)
