Summary: outstanding overview of how weather works
Comment: This book presents the fundamental physics which makes weather happen and then presents the reader with the tools with which to make weather predictions based on local observations using this physical model. But it's more than simply a book for boaters far at sea who must rely on their own analysis of weather patterns. It's also very useful as part of a larger understanding of science. Every branch of science tends to have a small number of very important concepts which form a model of how things work. This whole group of models from different disciplines very often can be used to understand completely new complex systems that aren't yet well understood by any formal branch of knowledge. When you've learned enough of the models from different branches of science, you are able to understand complex system much better. This book contains one of those models of scientific knowledge which I've found useful in a general sense.
