New edition of a meteorology text that bridges the gap between abstract explanatory processes and their expression in everyday events. In the 16 chapters, Aguado (San Diego State U.) and Burt (U. of Wisconsin-Madison) emphasize scientific literacy in a discussion of energy and mass, water in the atmosphere, distribution and movement of air, disturbances, human activities, and current, past, and future climates. Contains color illustrations and maps. The included CD-ROM provides tutorials, three-dimensional diagrams and animations of difficult-to-visualize material, weather images, a media library, and short interactive exercises. Annotation c.
