How do meteorologists design forecasts for the next day's, the next
week's, or the next month's weather? Are some forecasts more likely
to be accurate than others, and why? Making Sense of Weather and
Climate takes readers through key topics in atmospheric physics and
presents a cogent view of how weather relates to climate,
particularly climate-change science. It is the perfect book for
amateur meteorologists and weather enthusiasts, and for anyone
whose livelihood depends on navigating the weather's twists and
turns. Making Sense of Weather and Climate begins by explaining the
essential mechanics and characteristics of this fascinating
science. The noted physics author Mark Denny also defines the
crucial differences between weather and climate, and then develops
from this basic knowledge a sophisticated yet clear portrait of
their relation. Throughout, Denny elaborates on the role of weather
forecasting in guiding politics and other aspects of human
civilization. He also follows forecasting's effect on the economy.
Denny's exploration of the science and history of a phenomenon we
have long tried to master makes this book a unique companion for
anyone who wants a complete picture of the environment's
individual, societal, and planetary impact.
