Weather Forecasting Red Book: Forecasting Techniques For Meteorology

by Tim Vasquez

The Weather Forecasting Red Book is a groundbreaking reference that breaks away from theory and helps forecasters tackle everyday prediction problems. The book contains a wealth of information on real-life techniques, methods, and forecast systems. It draws upon a wealth of experience collected by the weather services of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. The first section deals with observational systems, explaining what quantities of wind, temperature, and pressure really mean. The analysis section defines standards and conventions for weather maps. The forecasting section has over a hundred pages of techniques, methods, patterns, and basic ideas and principles. And in the numerical model section, key details of the latest models are explained. The Weather Forecasting Red Book is written by a forecaster for forecasters. If it's needed at the forecast desk, it's in here.

Tim Vasquez is able to put so much valuable information into his books. I constantly reference the red book and is one of the few books that is always sitting on the computer desk within reach.
