Tornadoes (Facts on File Dangerous Weather Series)
by Michael Allaby
From Kirkus Reviews , September 1, 1997
This volume in the Dangerous Weather series will discourage all but the most intrepid of budding
meteorologists. Small, dense type and a difficult, specialized vocabulary combine for some
college-level discourse: ``Diverging air, flowing away from an area of high pressure, or anticyclone,
has negative relative vorticity and provided the divergence continues at a constant rate, its absolute
vorticity decreases eventually to zero.'' A single paragraph introduces planetary vorticity, vorticity of
the moving stream, relative vorticity, absolute vorticity, cyclonic motion, positive vorticity,
anticyclonic, and negative vorticity. The title may act as a supplement to curriculum-planning, but it's
impossible to imagine students settling into this one on their own.
