Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from Manual of Meteorology, Vol. 4: Meteorological Calculus; Pressure and Wind (a Revised Edition of Part IV, 1919) But anyone who takes an intelligent interest in the structure of the atmosphere, whether he regards it in detail or thinks only of its more general features, must have a working knowledge of the physical properties of air, and that is no slight matter. Maxwell's wonder ful Theory of Heat with all its digressive chapters might have been written for the purpose, for all that it contains is extraordinarily appropriate. Only one additional chapter, on the difficult subject of the thermodynamical properties of moist air, is required. The physical properties of air form the subject of Part II (vol. III). Part III (vol. IV) contains the formal setting out of the dynamical and thermal principles upon which theoretical meteorology depends, and which find their application in Part IV. It is necessarily technical but again its main outlines are sketched by the hand of a perfect master of the art in Maxwell's Matter and Motion. The whole is preceded by a historical introduction and a state ment of the position of the general meteorological problem at the present day (vol. I); because the history of the study of weather forms a striking example of the interaction of the progress of science and the creation of the instruments which it uses. Part IV is issued in advance because what is contained therein has not hitherto been presented in a collected form. It represents the progress made chiefly by those who have been associated in the work of the Meteorological Office in the past twenty years. We owe our success to the fortunate circumstances of our meteorological terrain. For the other parts of the subject all meteorologists have the same sources of reference open to them if they care to use them.

Book Description
Excerpt from Manual of Meteorology, Vol. 4: Meteorological Calculus; Pressure and Wind (a Revised Edition of Part IV, 1919) The volume now presented is a revised edition of Part IV which was issued in advance in 1919. There are besides two chapters introductory to the theory of motion under balanced forces which had been adopted in Part iv as the basis of the relation between pressure and wind, and two chapters supplementary, summing up the position with regard to the theory of the general circulation of the atmosphere and its local disturbances. Here we need only account for the limitations of the work now ended. Its purpose was to give the reader an idea of the general problem of the meteorology of the globe and of the material and methods which are available for its solution. More narrowly stated the problem is to provide a rational quantitative explanation of the sequence of the phenomena of weather in any locality - its first stage to trace the phenomena to their natural causes and identify the physical and dynamical processes by which the sequence is controlled. In Nature the account which has been given of the physical processes of weather in Vol.III has been called discursive, and with at least equal justice the epithet may be applied to the account of the dynamical processes in this last volume; and there is no reason for resentment on that account. Fifty years ago similar remarks were often made about Maxwell's Theory of Heat, "an extraordinary textbook," the perusal of which may even now be recommended to students of meteorology as a good resolution for every New Year, though neither author nor editor nor publisher (up to1891) had found himself able to make an index to it. Nature is herself very discursive in the demands which she makes upon her various sciences for providing the sequence of our weather. The book does not aspire to be regarded as an abstract even of meteorological literature, still less of dynamical or physical. It adheres as strenuously as circumstances permit to the idea of weather as a manifestation of the transformations of energy taking place in the atmosphere.

Book Description
The Handbook of Meteorology gives specialists and non-specialists alike a clear understanding of the way our weather functions. It provides scientific answers to questions that arise when looking at the world around us. It starts with the basics of weather--temperature, pressure, humidity, and wind--before moving on to cover highs, lows, fronts, and storms, and finally ending with a look at weather forecasts, cloud watching, weather tools, and much more. The Handbook of Meteorology provides a condensed but all-inclusive broad sweep of meteorology, employing several illustrations to translate detailed technical information into terms that everyone can follow and readily refer to. It is a comprehensive reference for any budding meteorologist or environmental professional in the field, laboratory, or classroom.

Book Description
"As is often noted, 'everyone talks about the weather, but no one does anything about it.' Not Bill Hooke! His thoughtful analysis of actions that we need to take to reduce the impacts of extreme weather is a must-read for everyone with an interest in the weather and climate." --Franklin W. Nutter, president, Reinsurance Association of America.
