The contents of this volume are based largely on a symposium on cloud dynamics held in Hamburg, Germany, as a part of the Third General Assembly of the International Association of Mete­ orology and Atmospheric Physics (IAMAP), 17-28 August-1981. Plans for this symposium were initiated by the Cloud Dynamics Group, appointed through the International Commission for Dynam­ ic Meteorology (ICDM), IAMAP. Members of this group are Bruce Morton - Chairman, Australia, Tomio Asai - Secretary, Japan, E. M. Agee, USA, V. Andreyev, Bulgaria, K. Fradrich, FRG, M. W. Moncrieff, UK, R. S. Pastushkov, USSR, J. P. Chao, PR China, Bh. V. Ramanamurti, India, W. Roach, UK, J. Simpson, USA, J. T. Steiner, New Zealand, M. Yanai, USA. E. M. Agee served as con­ vener of the symposium in Hamburg. Dynamic meteorology has grown rapidly and covered a great variety of fields since the foundation of ICDM, making it increas­ ingly difficult for the Commission to manage all activities. In order to improve this situation, some ad-hoc Working Groups within ICDM were organized at the 1977 IAMAP meeting in Seattle. Each of these working groups, such as the one in Cloud Dynamics, deals with a particular sub-field of dynamic meteorology.
