Instant Weather Forecasting by Alan Watts
|
Looking at the sky and forecasting the weather is the traditional pastime of farmers, shepherds and sailors. Some possess an uncanny knowledge of the subject when they know a locality well. But we can all become forecasters of the weather with the aid of a little meteorology.
This revolutionary book of 24 colour cloud pictures is a guide to predicting the weather in the hours ahead and has been consistently poular with pilots at all levels and flying all types of craft. It also provides helpful information on what the likely weather trends will be. It will enable the user to foretell, with reasonable accuracy, whether it will rain or blow, not change much, or perhaps clear up soon.
Everyone can use it, whether you are student or qualified pilot, sportsman holidaymaker, walker, sailor, angler or farmer.
The photographs are arranged to show skies associated with bad weather, with no immediate change, with sudden change, with temporary deterioration and with improvement. The introduction explains how to use the pictures, while the actual forecasts are set out in tables facing each photograph.
A particularly useful feature of the book is the author's prediction of time in relation to change, which is the result of considerable experience and observation. This brilliant tried and tested approach to forecasting will enable everyone to play the forecasting game.
Soft. 64 pages.

Instant Wind Forecasting by Alan Watts
|
This book is the perfect companion to 'Instant Weather Forecasting', both worldwide bestsellers.
Its easily accessible format will help all pilots. It offers a quick reference guide using a revolutionary presentation to make meaningful predictions about what the wind wil do based on the look of the sky and the feel of the day.
It is a practical book that you can take with you to supplement and amplify the forecasts you hear and see.
Radio, TV and aviation meteorological forecasts will only give the general trend of the wind's direction and speed; the actual wind may easily be made very different by the terrain or by being near the coast.
'Instant Wind Forecasting' is not a textbook on the wind. There is very little deep explanation here - just enough to make it understandable. It is designed to be a kind of 'instant guide to winds'. This approach may appeal to all those who are daunted by long-winded explanations.
It demands very little in the way of meteorological knowledge but will always be of intense usefullness and interest to pilots at all levels flying fixed, rotary, balloons or aiship craft.
Full colour throughout.
Soft. 120 pages.

Meteorology by David Cockburn
This book, the fourth in the series, has been produced primarily to assist an applicant for a Private Pilot's Licence in the study for the Meteorology examination. It is not intended as a complete course of study, but is designed to act as a guide to the main points in the syllabus. However, it is also intended to help those who have already passed the examination by giving them a document to which they can refer in order to achieve safe and practical flights as private pilots, and in addition can serve as a useful first step towards the knowledge required for professional pilot qualifications.

Meteorology for Pilots by Mike Wickson

This new edition of the well established and highly regarded 'Meteorology for Pilots' has been completely updated to satisfy all aspects of the meteorological requirements necessary to be JAR compliant and provides the ideal background study material for candidates working towards the JAA and Airline Transport Licence examinations.
It discusses the latest data concerning global warming and its consequences, especially in relation to the El Nino effect.
For aviation, the study of meteorlogy provides knowledge and awareness of the atmosphere, which is after all, the medium in which a pilot works. A proper study of the subject will provide the basis that can enable a pilot to appreciate properly the weather forecast given to him for a flight - and indeed to forecast for himself.
Illustrated throughout with colour photographs.

The Weather Guide
|
|
Weather forecasters, like most specialists, are often accused of wrapping their subject up in technical jargon. Thus, Forsdyke simplifies terminology and uses colourful informative illustrations and diagrams, to describe and explain weather observations, causes, forecasting, climate, and the application of weather study to everyday life. His manner gives these terms a new and vivid significance.
