Weather Forecasting Handbook (5th Edition)

A guide to weather forecasting covers forecasting principles, techniques, and tools.

Tim Vasquez draws on an extensive tapestry of meteorological experience, which started in his childhood years in California, Germany, the Philippines, Arizona, and Texas. After managing the weather page of a Dallas newspaper for five years, he spent ten years in the Air Force, where he provided aviation weather forecasting and support in Texas, Nevada, England, Korea, and Kenya, as well as television work for AFRTS and KTXS-12 in Abilene. Tim has been an active storm chaser since 1986, an activity where there is no tolerance for forecasting errors. He has also written a suite of weather forecasting tools used extensively within the weather industry, such as Digital Atmosphere. Tim is owner of Weather Graphics Technologies and lives near Norman, Oklahoma with his wife Shannon.
