A World of Weather: Fundamentals of Meteorology A Text/Laboratory Manual Second Edition Jon M. Nese Lee M. Grenci A text and lab manual all in one!

This book includes:

Laboratory exercises in each chapter that use real data so students can relate principles they learn to what happens in the atmosphere.

Case studies of news-making weather events such as the Great Midwestern Flood of 1993 , Hurricane Andrew, and the Blizzard of 1993 .

Graphics, maps and photos that are clear and unambiguous.

Weather Folklore and weather commentaries that allow students to compare fiction to reality.

A World of Weather by Jon M. Nese and Lee M. Grenci is not a typical meteorology text. This book not only teaches your students the basic concepts about meteorology, but it applies these concepts in hands-on laboratory exercises, thus promoting a deeper understanding of how the atmosphere works.

The first half of the book is devoted to the nuts and bolts of meteorology, including temperature, air pressure, and atmospheric stability. These concepts are presented with a fresh approach designed so that students can easily relate basic atmsopheric principles to their daily lives. The remainder of the book is set aside for fastening the nuts and bolts to the framework of atmospheric phenomena such as hurricanes, winter storms, ozone depletion, and the patterns of climate in specific states.

While particularly useful for an introductory meteorology course, this book also presents students with the tools needed for the further pursuit of meteorology as a major.
