Laboratory Manual of Meteorology, 6th Edition: (None)

This manual has been designed to accompany an introductory college course in meteorology. It has been used in a four-credit-hour course, with a three-hour per week lab, for many years. The manual has been continually revised and upgraded, taking into account the advice of thousands of students and numerous instructors who have used it. It is one of the few truly hands-on lab manuals on the market. It is not just a series of discussions followed by questions about the reading, as is often the case with other ME lab/activity manuals. It tackles those subjects for which there is no substitute for "doing" as opposed to just hearing or reading about. The authors have written detailed instructions for each lab. The purpose of so much written detail is to reduce the time needed for verbal instructions by the teacher, to allow students to do the lab on their own outside of class if they prefer or as an extra credit project, to facilitate make-ups by students who were absent, and finally, to allow students to review before a lab exam. For this reason, the manual is ideal for a college professor or high school teacher whose primary field is not meteorology. Most lab materials needed for the exercises are commonly available in physical science departments; those that are not, can be constructed without special skills. The authors are available for further explanation, including advice on how to secure and construct lab materials. Do not let the low price mislead you. The authors are making the manual available with no royalties for themselves.
