Understanding Weather and Climate engages you in learning atmospheric processes and patterns, illustrating meteorology and climatology in everyday occurrences. The text focuses on the human aspect of weather and climate, covers high interest weather-related hazards, and features the latest science and relevant issues.
The 7th Edition extends coverage of global climate change with new sections covering oceans and climate in the Earth system. New Focus on the Environment and Societal Impacts case studies illustrate the broad impacts on people and society and the decision-making that goes into coping with weather events. And the latest climate change science is integrated throughout, leveraging the findings of the IPCC 5th Assessment Report.
