Cengage Meteorology Today An Introduction to Weather Climate and the Environment 2018 Edition by Robert Henson
METEOROLOGY TODAY: AN INTRODUCTION
TO WEATHER, CLIMATE AND THE ENVIRONMENT by meteorologists C. Donald Ahrens and
Robert Henson combines the latest in weather, climate and earth science to
introduce students to the concepts and current issues of meteorology. Grounded
in the scientific method, the new edition of this highly visual text shows
students how to observe, calculate and synthesize information as budding
scientists. Specific discussions center on severe weather systems like
tornadoes and hurricanes, as well as everyday elements like wind, precipitation
and the seasons. The MindTap course provides students with engaging features
such as Concept Animations, a digital Study Guide, and summative EOC
assessment. New assignable Case Study activities in each chapter allow students
to apply their knowledge to real life studies and meteorological events.
