Weather is the one aspect of nature that affects us more directly than any other.
But because weather involves massive movements of invisible air and is concerned with the temperature and pressure changes of this nearly intangible substance, most students have only a limited understanding of what it is and what causes it.
This comprehensive guide helps students understand this fascinating phenomena by exploring the weather: what makes it, the properties of rain, snow, dew and frost, how the earth’s rotation affects winds, cloud formations, and explains somewhat cryptic meteorological terms such as highs and lows, cold and warm fronts, air masses and relative humidity.
Lengthy sections are also devoted to how to decode a weather map and the science of weather forecasting. References, additional resources, and index.
