Peterson Field Guide to Weather - (Peterson Field Guides) by Jay Anderson & John A Day & Jay M Pasachoff (Paperback)

A field guide to the weather, including clouds, storm systems, and climate change A resource for those intrigued by events in the sky--clouds, precipitation, storms, aurora, halos--and for those who follow daily weather events.

Using a nontechnical approach, the authors describe the flow of energy and moisture through global and local landscapes and how they evolve into day-to-day weather.

For those fascinated by the sky's colors and patterns, there are halos, rainbows, iridescent clouds, and other tapestries in the sky.

For the cloud-watcher, common and unusual cloud forms are covered; for those entranced by storms, the guide includes severe thunderstorms, winter blizzards, hurricanes, hail, ice storms, and other challenges that the atmosphere inflicts.

It even includes a chapter on weather in the atmospheres of the planets and the sun.
