Weather Analysis and Forecasting Handbook, 2nd Ed.

This is the ultimate guidebook for anyone who needs to know the details of operational weather analysis

and forecasting, not just theoretical aspects and introductory concepts. It's geared toward meteorology

professionals, students, pilots, flight dispatchers, amateurs, storm chasers, and spotters. Basic physical

concepts are reviewed, and then the book covers thermodynamics, surface analysis, and upper analysis.



The new Second Edition contains a greatly expanded and rewritten modeling section, plus additional

information on radar, satellite, upper air, and much more. With added emphasis on analysis, visualization,

and awareness of model limitations, readers learn to use tools properly and are always a step ahead.
