Guide to Weather (Firefly Pocket series)
There will be two distinct audiences for Reynolds' introduction to weather: the prospective meteorologist interested in how a forecast is compiled, and the reader intrigued by the dynamics of weather in general. The latter benefits from explanations--including excellent schematics--of the global components of weather, such as atmospheric and oceanic circulation, while the former learns the additional welter of factors that bear on forecasting, such as the season, latitude, topography, or humidity. An able presenter, Reynolds delivers the technical substrate necessary to a basic understanding of the earth's weather system.Gilbert TaylorCopyright © American Library Association.
