The Atmosphere: An Introduction to Meteorology — Frederick K. Lutgens et al. (2013)

Book Description

In order to understand how Earth’s atmosphere and weather phenomena affect our daily lives–and how we, in turn, impact the atmosphere–it is important to develop an understanding of basic meteorological principles. The Atmosphere remains the standard introduction to meteorology, reinforcing basic concepts with everyday easy-to-grasp examples; a largely non-technical narrative; timely coverage of recent atmospheric events; and carefully crafted illustrations. With new active learning tools to help guide and engage students, the 12th edition now also features a greater focus on increasingly important severe and hazardous weather applications, new critical visual analysis and observations tools, discussions of real-world career opportunities in meteorology, the latest data and fascinating true case studies. -Back cover.
