Product Description

Make your own weather forecasts with confidence! Now, read those Internet satellite images and NOAA weather faxes - to see what's heading your way. Comparing simultaneous NOAA weather charts and satellite photos of the same weather events, author and weather expert Michael William Carr shows you how to spot weather systems in the images and accurately predict winds and conditions in your immediate area. Learn how weather develops; warm and cold fronts; high and low pressure systems; jet streams; tropical storms; and all the other weather features you will encounter on charts and satellite photos."With this book there is no reason for prudent mariners to be surprised by imperfect weather forecasts or local conditions that general forecasts may not cover. Michael Carr, himself a proven mariner, has put together this excellent educational reference for his fellow mariners. I highly encourage you to read this book." - from the foreword by Lee S. Chesneau, Senior Forecaster, Marine Prediction Center, NOAA.

Book Description

Weather charts are becoming ever more available to mariners, outdoorspeople, and amateur weather buffs--not only on the Weather Channel and local TV broadcasts, but from weatherfax receivers, from single sideband radios connected to laptop computers. This book teaches how to interpret all this wonderful weather imagery to make your own weather forecasts. Not a weather textbook in the traditional sense, but a graphically driven examination of clouds and jetstream patterns that accompany highs, lows, ridges, and troughs.

First Sentence
Our Earth's surface consists of land and water, with water being a thermally stable substance, absorbing heat from the sun without substantial short-term changes in temperature, whereas land is thermally unstable, absorbing and re-radiating heat quickly and with appreciable changes in temperature.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not for novices, 30 Oct 2003

By	Christian Willoch - See all my reviews

I consider myself as a novice in understanding weather systems. The first chapter of this book tries to give a simple answer to "What is weather". In my opinion, it jumps too fast to more complex expressions and understandings of weather, not giving a novice a chance to take in the fundamentals.

Besides this, the book looks promising regarding marine weather, but I'll have to get a better book i weather fundamentals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best blend of technology and real world weather skills, 12 Jul 1999

By A Customer

Michael's book gets right to the essence of using satellite images, charts, and text weather information. This is reference that should be onboard every vessel, and will be used constantly. Skills and useful tips that Michael has accumulated from over twenty years of Coast Guard, Navy and ocean sailing experience are crammed into this book...I carry a copy everywhereI go!
