Year: 2020 Language: english Author: Jon Shonk Genre: Manual Publisher: Dunedin Academic Press Edition: 2nd ISBN: 9781780466453 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 165 Description: Nowadays meteorology is, at the same time, a very accessible and a challenging science. Large amounts of avaliable data and high computing power are balanced by the need to refine forecast models and the growth of long term predictions and future climate development. This manual aims to provide a basic understanding of the science of meteorology for those keen to take it a little further. The book briefly traces the history of meteorological observations and forecasting, explains how the weather is observed using a combination of surface observations and remote sensing techniques, such as satellites and surface radars, and introduces the basic physical science behind the weather. Four chapters are dedicated to explain how this science is applied to the atmosphere, and how various types of weather system evolve and dissipate. Last part of the book is upon forecasting: how forecasts are generated from observations, and how the models we use to forecast the weather can be extended to generate predictions of future climate.
