Product Description

Synopsis

This work presents 4000 entries in an A to Z format. Topics include: the processes that produce our weather; the circulation of the atmosphere that produces the world's climates; classification of climates; and important scientific concepts used by climatologists and meteorologists; the history of ideas underlying the atmospheric sciences; biographical accounts of those who have made significant contributions to climatology and meteorology; and particular weather events, from extreme tropical cyclones and tornadoes to local winds. Each entry features numerous cross references and definitions of weather- and climate-related terms as well as additional sources for further study. Appendices listing historical examples of disasters caused by bad weather, milestones in the development of the atmospheric sciences, and the geological time scale aim to round out this comprehensive survey.
