Sections such as Eye on the Atmosphere use beautiful imagery to help them see the atmosphere through the eyes of a meteorologist and ask scientific questions that place significant features in atmospheric context. It also includes expanded coverage of global change and recent phenomena. Chapter summaries, self-tests and critical thinking questions help prepare readers for quizzes and tests while the illustrated case studies offer a wide variety of in-depth examinations that address important issues in the field of environmental science. \u003cp\u003e1 Introducing Weather and Climate 2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 The Earth’s Atmosphere 28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 The Earth’s Global energy Balance 50\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Surface Temperature and its Variation 82\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Atmospheric Moisture 120\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Winds 154\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Global Atmospheric and Oceanic Circulation 182\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Midatitude Weather Systems 216\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Tropical Weather Systems 244\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Thunderstorms and Tornadoes 268\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 The Global Scope of Climate 298\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e12 Climates of the World 320\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e13 Climate Variability 352\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e14 Human Interaction with Weather and Climate 384\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e15 Weather Forecasting and Numerical Modeling 412\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e16 Human-Induced Climate Change and Climate Forecasting 440\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA Units of Measurement and Conversion 472\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eB The U.S. Standard Atmosphere 473\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eC Weather Station and Map Symbols 474\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eD Self-Test Answer Key 475\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGlossary 476\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCredits 489\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 493\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eBruce T. Anderson\u003c\/b\u003e is an Associate Chair of the Department of Geography and Environment at Boston University. He is also an Associate Professor in the Department. He serves as a Research Consultant for the Northeast Climate Impacts Assessment (NECIA) project and heads the Experimental Center for Remote Observations of Production (ECROP). He serves on the Membership Committee for the American Meteorological Society. He has been a National Research Council Fellow and a NOAA Visiting Scientist Fellow. He has over 25 peer-reviewed articles published or in press over the last 5 years and has been the invited speaker at both national and international universities, conferences, and workshops. His research interests include regional impacts of climate variability, large-scale and regional atmospheric dynamics and hydrology, coupled ocean-atmosphere variability, and climate\/vegetation interactions and feedbacks. He received his Ph.D. from Scripps Institution of Oceanography in 1998 and graduated with a B.S. in Physics from University of California, Santa Barbara in 1994.   \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eShare your passion for meteorology…\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRainfall witin a Tropical Cyclone\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis set of satellite images show two views of Hurricane Emily in the Gulf of Mexico on July 20, 2005. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn part \u003cb\u003eA\u003c\/b\u003e, we see a satellite image of clouds, with the storm's eye at the center.Although this image gives a sense of the scale of the hurricane, it does not identify where the winds are most intense or where rainfall is heaviest.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart \u003cb\u003eB\u003c\/b\u003e is an image produced using a special radar aboard a satellite that maps water droplets, providing a three-dimensional image of the tropical cyclone.
