In many parts of the world the weather forms a daily topic of conversation, In others it hardly changes from one week to the next.

However, human life is governed by the weather which affects much of our activity, from farming to fishing and from shopping to holiday-making.

Introducing Meteorology has been written to provide a succinct overview of the science of the weather for students and for interested amateurs wanting a topical guide to this complex science.

The initial chapters describe the development of the science, the atmosphere and the forces which govern the weather.

The author then discusses weather influences at global and local scales before describing the science of weather forecasting.

Copiously illustrated, this book is intended for those whose interest in meteorology has been stimulated, perhaps by media coverage of dramatic weather events, and who want to know more.

Technical terms are kept to a minimum and are explained in a glossary.
