Can anyone recommend a good college level meteorology textbook?
So meteorology is unique in that it changes depending on the scale and process. For a general taste of meteorology, I suggest Wallace and Hobbes. You may note similarities among most of my recommendations, but that may just be a bias from my personal experience.

One of the most problematic elements of meteorology is atmospheric dynamics. A common resource is Holton's book.

For thermodynamics, a common book used in my undergraduate studies was Bohren and Albrecht. Although you may have experience in thermodynamics, atmospheric thermodynamics is often treated differently, with different quantities. You may recognize some of the equations used, but the variables derived are used throughout atmospheric science.

For mesoscale (medium-sized) meteorology, Markowski and Richardson have a good book.

For atmospheric radiation, Petty has a basic book.

In my synoptic meteorology class, we were assigned this book, but I don't recall ever really using it. This book looks more comprehensive (in fact, I might get it for myself).

For boundary layer meteorology, try Roland Stull's book.
