Meteorology Today : An Introduction to Weather, Climate, and the Evironment/With Infotrak
by C. Donald Ahrens
Our Price: $87.95
Availability: This title usually ships within 2-3 days.
Book Description
Ahren's METEOROLOGY TODAY is the # 1 text in the market! This text presents the fundamental concepts of meteorology in the context of everyday weather observations. This is a perfect blend of 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. The organization contains enough detail to provide a higher level student with the detail he/she needs, as well as an accessible writing style for the weaker student. This text contains extensive new features that address the market needs of accuracy, currency, earlier presentation of mapping and forecasting, with a greatly enhanced technology package.
