"The book begins with discussing the primary atmospheric variables involved in the formation of weather: pressure, temperature, moisture, clouds, and precipitation. These chapters include practical information such as weather maps and weather observation techniques, as well as the more conceptual aspects of meteorology. The second half of the book focuses on weather and climate topics such as the interaction between atmosphere and ocean, severe/extreme weather, weather forecasting, and climate change"--Provided by publisher.
