Essentials of Meteorology

Meteorology is a branch of atmospheric sciences which primarily deals with weather forecasting. Its constituents are atmospheric physics and atmospheric chemistry. The noticeable weather events which are explained using meteorological science are called meteorological phenomenon. Some of the different fields where meteorology is applied are transport, agriculture, energy production and construction. Spatially, meteorology is broadly divided into three scales - microscale, mesoscale and synoptic scale. These scales are also related directly to proportionate timescales. There are various equipment which are used within this field such as air quality sensors, flood sensors, lightning sensors and rain gauge, along with remote sensing equipment such as radar and lidar. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of meteorology. Some of the diverse topics covered herein address the varied branches that fall under this category. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.
