Synopsis
A practical guide to observing, measuring and understanding weather.
Meteorology is a science that gets widespread exposure on television, radio and newspapers as well as being one of the most frequent topics of conversation. Best of all, it is a science that anyone can dabble in on a daily basis.
Guide to Weather is a handy guide to the many forces of nature at work in the Earth's atmosphere.
Written for all readers, this book explains how weather phenomena actually develop and how to predict them. The book also explores the validity of weather folklore, such as red sky at night, sailor's delight; red sky in the morning, sailor take warning, and many others.

- The atmosphere
- Observing the weather
- Mapping the weather
- Global weather
- Explaining the weather
- Forecasting the weather

About the Author
Ross Reynolds is a lecturer in meteorology at Reading University.
Reviews
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 Taylor
