Cloudspotting For Beginners

Clouds exist in all manner of shapes and sizes. From low-lying stratus to high-flying cirrus via sun dogs and tornados, Gavin Pretor-Pinney and William Grill reveal the key facts, characteristics and stories about each of the major cloud types as well as their associated meteorological phenomena. We learn their fancy Latin names, explore the parts of the sky where they like to hang out, witness their snazzy optical effects - and even visit them on other planets, where they are made of acid.

Highly informative and beautifully illustrated, Cloudspotting for Beginners will inspire curious minds with a lifelong meteorological wonder.<>
