内容説明
Presenting the fundamental concepts of meteorology in the context of everyday weather observations, this text blends theory and application in meteorology. The book features a traditional yet flexible organization, moving from atmospheric elements to air movement to severe weather, then finally global and climate change. Ahren's successfully excites the student reader by teaching them to actively observe the weather.
