Description
Grounded in an interdisciplinary, systems-based approach, Weather and Climate provides an engaging, well-rounded introduction to the intricately intertwined processes that create weather and climate in Canada and around the globe. By relating fundamental scientific principles and theories to observable atmospheric phenomena, Ross opens reader's eyes to the hidden order that drives our seemingly chaotic atmosphere. The fully revised third edition includes expanded coverage of climatology, a fully revised and up-to-date chapter on climate change, and a new technical art program. Brimming with stimulating questions and activities that encourage independent thinking, this illuminating introduction will inspire students to engage with key issues, ask questions, and begin their own meteorological and climatological investigations.
