About This Book

A practical introduction to atmospheric behavior that blends classical names and imagery for winds with physical explanation and observational practice. The author describes the characteristics and regional effects of winds from different directions, the mechanics of sea breezes and storms, patterns of wind speed and turning with altitude, and basic forecasting principles. Emphasis is placed on how prevailing winds shape local climates, on data and instruments from observatory work, and on illustrative diagrams and examples that connect theory to everyday weather phenomena.
