Ackerman/Knox's METEOROLOGY: UNDERSTANDING THE ATMOSPHERE presents the subject of weather as it directly affects the student, presenting the material with a moderate amount of detail, to make them knowledgeable citizens of the world. It builds strong connections between meteorology and everyday life, with an emphasis on real, working meteorology and state-of-the-art technology. The author's lucid writing style captures students' interest, and the integration of high-magnitude, real-world weather events to illustrate the impact of the weather, communicates the authors' enthusiasm and love of the subject. The text comes automatically packaged with an interactive CD-ROM (Blue Skies).

About the Author:
Steven Ackerman is Professor of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and is Director of the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS). He received his Ph.D. in Atmospheric Sciences at Colorado State University. Ackerman's research interests center on understanding how changes in the radiation balance affect and are affected by changes in other climate variables such as clouds, aerosols, water vapor, and surface properties. These feedback mechanisms are studied using a compliment of theoretical models and observations. He has been actively involved in a number of meteorological projects and programs, including the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment, the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Program, and the NOAA Global Climate Change Program. Renowned for his ability to inspire active student participation in his classes, Ackerman has won numerous teaching and academic awards, including the 1999 Chancellor's Award for Distinguished Teaching (University of Wisconsin) and the 2000 Teaching and Learning with Technology Grant (University of Wisconsin). Ackerman is also a member of the University of Wisconsin Teaching Academy.
