Year: 2017 Language: english Author: Storm Dunlop Genre: Handbook Publisher: Oxford University Press ISBN: 978–0–19–957131–4 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 177 Description: Earth’s weather systems are so complex that a quotation, attributed to Mark Twain, states: ‘Climate is what we expect, weather is what we get'. This book aims to explain some of the mechanisms that are at work, and why specific conditions at a particular location may be highly changeable or persist for long periods of time. It only briefly touches on matters of climate and its changes, but mechanisms behind the actual weather systems are fully covered in a plain and simple language. The author describes how the global patterns of temperature and pressure give rise to the overall circulation within the atmosphere, the major wind systems and the oceanic currents, and how orography affect local weather. He also looks at examples of extreme and dangerous weather, such as of tropical cyclones.
