Few
sciences fascinate everyone as much as meteorology and climatology.
Violent tornadoes and hurricanes uproot enormous trees in their
unbridled fury. Heavy snowfalls bring entire cities to a hushed
standstill. Great climatic changes create and then bear away vast
continental ice sheets. The fleeting beauty of a rainbow, the
astounding, delicate intricacy of each snowflake, make it plain to see
why the mysteries of the phenomenon we call “weather” have intrigued us
all since the dawn of the ages.
Meteorology has evolved in step with recent technological
advances, and in view of the dizzying speed with which technology is
progressing today, it has been necessary to create a new dictionary –
exhaustive, accurate and up-to-date. Useful appendices and acronyms
glossaries included.
Covers all areas of
each field:
meteorology, climatology, weather prediction, tropical meteorology,
mesometeorology, hurricane warning, tornado terminology, severe storms,
bioclimatology, mountain meteorology, pluviometry
