Weather Predicting Simplified is the first book that shows the reader, with many sample satellite photos and weather maps, how to predict the weather easily and accurately - without having to wait for hours for NOAA updates. (McGraw Hill)Michael Carr...
Weatheris local and short-term. If itsnowsin the town where you live next Tuesday, that's weather.Climateis long-term and doesn't relate to one small location. The climate of an area is the average weather conditions in aregionover a long period of time. If the part of the world you...

Bringing time into the analysis adds yet another dimension to all the relationships discussed so far. Exercise: Write sample questions illustrating different types of analyses that require understanding the intersection of space and time. Map courtesy of NOAA. Sample: When and where will the whale ...
These weather charts from the BAMS study show the pattern of the upper-level winds at 300 millibars pressure (roughly 9 kilometres altitude) and 200 mb pressure (around 12 km altitude), as well as the location of the Sub-tropical jet (STJ) above cent...
