Understanding Weather and Climate - Hardcover
For courses in Introductory Meteorology and Meteorology, for Non-Science majors.
This meteorology text focuses on explanation about―rather than description of―the processes that produce Earth's weather and climate. It emphasizes a non-mathematical understanding of physical principles as a vehicle for learning about atmospheric processes. Additionally, difficult-to-visualize topics are reinforced with a series of software tutorials presented on a CD-ROM packaged with the book.
