Synopsis

ESSENTIALS OF METEOROLOGY: AN INVITATION TO THE ATMOSPHERE, Ninth Edition, is written for students interested in gaining insights into the dynamic workings of the atmosphere. The authors' ability to explain even complicated ideas in an easy-to-understand way enables both science and non-science majors to visualize and understand important principles of meteorology. Online animations help bring text material to life and make it easier to understand the underlying concepts, and appendices offer the chance for in-depth exploration of meteorological data, such as world temperature and precipitation extremes over a 30-year period.
