Yes, you too can learn about weather. Read these two books and you'll
know more than the idiot talking heads on the weather channel. You
can laugh when they try and explain the Coriolis force or how
orographic precipitation affects the climate in Oregon.
Roger G. Barry, Richard J. Chorley: Atmosphere, Weather & Climate
A classic (first edition was 1968) textbook in meteorology. Pretty
much the most serious text around without turning weather into a boring
system of partial differential equations in fluid mechanics. Starts
micro and goes macro; then examines the weather patterns around the
world. Has a brief bit about how we may be changing the climate but
the PC (Political Correctness) factor is low.
Roger G. Barry: Mountain Weather and Climate
I got this book first; tried to read it and went out and got
"Atmosphere, Weather & Climate" so I could understand this text.
Not quite as useful on a
practical level but studies the effect mountainous terrain has on
weather systems. Has case studies from classic mountaineering areas.
