What does it mean when there is a corona around the moon? How do you tell the difference between stratocumulus and nimbostratus clouds? The Weather Identification Handbook is designed to provide not only a comprehensive introduction to various phenomena but also the information that makes weather forecasting possible. Here, the weather is divided into easy-to-follow sections: cloud classification; how to identify different cloud types and how they relate to forthcoming weather; how clouds are formed; optical phenomena; precipitation; wind; severe weather; weather systems; satellite images and weather maps.
Full of beautiful color photographs and diagrams, this book is essential for the outdoor photographer, adventurer, or meteorological enthusiast.
