Description

1. xxiii, 499 pages : illustrations (some color); 26 cm

Summary

1. The aim of this manual is to present the meteorology student and operational forecaster with the current techniques for interpreting satellite and radar images of weather systems in mid-latitudes. Illustrations offer images matched with conceptual models and weather charts.
