Meteorology Source Book

A spinoff volume derived entirely from the McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science & Technology (6th edition, 1987) with articles arranged by chapter within sections-not alphabetically. This book is one of the titles in our new Science Reference Series, a series designed to serve the educational & professional needs of individuals who do not have access to the parent 20-volume set. Climate & the weather are of global interest not only scientifically but commercially as well since weather impacts air transportation, shipping, & agriculture in terms of real dollars. There are currently many global research programs involving cooperative international efforts providing renewed interest in the science of weather. This book spans the full range of the subject, including all types of weather systems & meteorological phenomena, & the technologies for study, forecasting & prediction (e.g., radar & satellites) in approximately 110 "articles".McGraw-Hill Staff is the author of 'Meteorology Source Book' with ISBN 9780070455115 and ISBN 0070455112.
