Doppler Radar, Satellites, and Computer Models

"This brief text is designed for the middle school student. Topics range from reading a weather map, to some short explanations on what drives the weather, to the challenges of predicting the weather today. The occupation of meteorologist is well covered, and the book is well illustrated with color images of forecasters, equipment, and devastating storms. The section on the heat index and the windchill index explains those two topics well. The book closes with a chapter dedicated to climate change and weather folklore. This is a well written introductory text to the topic of meteorology and would be a welcome addition to any library."
