Storms, Violent Winds, and Earth's Atmosphere pdf Джон П. Рафферти
Whether ruining a commute or devastating entire homes and countries, inclement weather has the power to capture attention and headlines in a way few other topics can. While storms can be sudden or unexpected, the atmospheric conditions that produce them, as well as other kinds of weather—violent and otherwise—are in place and churning well before the full range of their effects can be felt. This book examines the science that gives us a greater understanding of the patterns that produce hurricanes, tornadoes, cyclones, and a host of related conditions. It also discusses another persistent issue of inclement weather, which is how to better predict climactic extremes.
