Weather explained. 3rd edition, Nicolas Jean

The author, who has been passionate about meteorology from an early age, deepened his knowledge in this field during his time in the French Air Force as a fighter pilot.
The study and knowledge of dangerous natural elements enabled him to avoid many of the pitfalls of flight, thus avoiding serious consequences.
An experienced instructor, he had the pleasure of introducing his students to most of the mysteries that nature has in store for us on a daily basis.
What a pleasure to discover the names of clouds and to understand the natural events, good or bad, that are sure to occur in the coming hours.
In the past, the only way to forecast the weather was to look up at the sky, observe the clouds and estimate what was likely to happen in the near future.
Today, thanks to advanced technology, satellites are capable of transmitting information and long-term forecasts to the whole world, and travel by sea, air and land is safe, comfortable and hazard-free.
You'll enjoy gaining a better understanding of the meteorological phenomena that govern us, as you follow the author's playful yet precise eXplications.
