This book includes:
- Laboratory exercises in
each chapter that use real data so students can relate principles
they learn to what happens in the atmosphere.
- Case studies of news-making weather events such as the
Great Midwestern Flood of 1993 , Hurricane Andrew, and the Blizzard of 1993 .
- Graphics, maps and photos that are clear and
unambiguous.
- Weather Folklore and weather commentaries that allow
students to compare fiction to reality.
A World of Weather by Jon M. Nese
and Lee M. Grenci is
not a typical meteorology text. This book not only teaches your
students the basic concepts about meteorology, but it applies these
concepts in hands-on laboratory exercises, thus promoting a deeper
understanding of how the atmosphere works.
The first half of the book is devoted to the nuts and bolts of
meteorology, including temperature, air pressure, and atmospheric
stability. These concepts are presented with a fresh approach
designed so that students can easily relate basic atmsopheric
principles to their daily lives. The remainder of the book is set
aside for fastening the nuts and bolts to the framework of
atmospheric phenomena such as hurricanes, winter storms, ozone
depletion, and the patterns of climate in specific states.
While particularly useful for an introductory meteorology course,
this book also presents students with the tools needed for the
further pursuit of meteorology as a major.
