The Electrical Nature of Storms
Rapid progress during the last twenty years has created a host of new technologies for studying electrical storms, including lightning mapping systems, new radars, satellite sensors, and new ways of measuring electric field and particle charge. This book explains how these advances have revolutionized our understanding. The books provides substantial background material, making it accessible to a broad scientific audience.
Natural Disasters
As our planet changes and human population grows, students will see new examples every year of the devastating impact that geologic and atmospheric disasters have on communities. Through vibrant and detailed visuals, engaging writing, and extended case studies, Natural Disasters helps explain the science behind these catastrophes and the societal factors that shape our responses. Step-by-step art makes key concepts accessible to all students. And two case studies in every chapterÑcovering one North American and one global example and reinforced through online Guided Learning ExplorationsÑget students examining the societal factors that help shape how communities deal with these disasters.
Radar Meteorology
This practical full-color textbook introduces the fundamental physics behind radar measurements and their meteorological interpretation.
