From School Library Journal:

Adult/High School-From the simple to the complex, this dictionary clearly and concisely explains meteorological terms and concepts. It is amazing just how much information lies between its covers. Entries include acronyms, which help in deciphering the "alphabet soup" that can befuddle newcomers to the field. Better-known worldwide meteorological programs, agreements, and organizations can be found here as well. As a bonus, Web sites for a number of the organizations are appended. The black-and-white illustrations and diagrams found throughout the volume are top-notch. There's everything from the expected illustration of the Gulf Stream to a less expected diagram of a lidar atmospheric sensing system. With all its extra features and excellent presentation, Weather is a resource that will be used again and again by students from junior high on up.
