Jet Streams Guide
Jet Streams Guide offers a comprehensive look into the high-altitude air currents that significantly impact global weather patterns and aviation. This book simplifies the complex science behind jet streams, explaining their formation, behavior, and influence on climate. Intriguingly, these atmospheric rivers can drastically shorten or lengthen flights, demonstrating their practical relevance. Readers will gain insights into how jet streams steer storms and contribute to extreme weather events, such as droughts and floods. The book progresses logically, beginning with the basic concepts of jet streams and their classifications (polar, subtropical), before exploring their impact on aviation and global weather. It emphasizes the vital role of jet streams in weather forecasting and flight planning. By using real-world meteorological data, case studies, and visualizations, Jet Streams Guide connects jet stream research to fields like geography and environmental science, highlighting the interconnectedness of atmospheric processes.
Forecasters' Guide to Tropical Meteorology
A practical manual for training and reference use of USAF weather forecasters who will work in the tropics, it covers basic facts of climatology, circulation, synoptic models, analysis and forecasting, application throughout the tropics. A broad survey is made of the literature, evaluated in light of the experience of the author. Physical factors controlling tropical circulations are briefly discussed. The data sources for synoptic purposes are reviewed. Climatology of pressure, winds, temperature, humidity, clouds, rainfall and disturbances is presented in a form specially suitable for forecasters. Analysis and for forecasting of disturbances, cyclones, severe weather, terminal weather, etc., are treated at length. Emphasis is placed on uses of climatology and satellite cloud photos. Over 230 figures adapted from the literature or prepared by the author serve to illustrate all the essential facts and principles discussed. A summary of the state of art and future outlook of tropical meteorology is included.

Weather is never static. It is always dynamic. Its interpretation is an art. The art of applying complex information about weather to the equally complex task of wildland fire control cannot be acquired easily especially not by the mere reading of a book. The environment is in control in wildland firefighting. Free-burning fires are literally nourished by weather elements, atmospheric components, and atmospheric motion. Outguessing Mother Nature in order to win control is an extremely difficult task. We need to soothe her with understanding. We have attempted to present information in such a way that your daily and seasonal awareness of fire weather can begin with reliable basic knowledge. We have kept the use of technical terms to a minimum, but where it was necessary for clear and accurate presentation, we have introduced and defined the proper terms. Growing awareness of fire weather, when combined with related experience on fires, can develop into increasingly intuitive, rapid, and accurate applications.
