Description
The Royal Meteorological Society & Natural History Museum
A fascinating ‘A to Z’ reference book which defines over 600 weather words, terms and phenomena; accompanied by spectacular colour photographs drawn from submissions for the Society’s annual Weather Photographer of the Year competition. From ‘ablation’ and ‘Abroholos’ to ‘zonal flow’, ‘Zonda’ and ‘Zulu time’: discover concise but expert explanations for global weather terminology. Even familiar words, such as ‘gust’ become intriguing when you read that the precise definition requires the wind speed to be at least 12mph to be correctly applied. Includes longer sections exploring cloud types, El Niño, the Novaya Zemlya effect, tornadoes, rainbows and more. An appealing mix of science, geography, history and folklore, published by the Natural History Museum and drawing upon the expertise of The Royal Meteorological Society, founded 1850. A perfect gift for a weather watcher or to perfect your weather related observations.
