Overview
The Atmosphere: An Introduction to Meteorology presents basic meteorology concepts with easy-to-grasp, everyday examples. Authors Lutgens and Tarbuck, now joined by Redina Herman, present meteorology with a friendly, largely non-technical narrative, timely coverage of recent atmospheric events, and carefully crafted artwork by leading science illustrator Dennis Tasa.
The 14th Edition provides a clear learning path throughout the text, using an easy-to-navigate design and a student-oriented approach. New features include end-of-chapter questions and problems to help you understand processes that control our weather and apply this information in your daily life.
