Samenvatting

For introductory meteorology courses.

Provide the perfect storm of rich media and active learning tools
The Atmosphere: An Introduction to Meteorology remains the definitive introductory meteorology text, reinforcing basic concepts with easy-to-grasp, everyday examples. Authors Lutgens and Tarbuck, now joined by Redina Herman, present meteorology with a friendly, largely non-technical narrative, timely coverage of recent atmospheric events, and carefully crafted artwork by leading science illustrator Dennis Tasa.

The 14th Edition includes a new, easier-to-navigate design, and a more student-oriented approach that provides a clear learning path throughout the text.
