Climates and Weather Explained Instructors Resource Pack

Integrating climatology and meteorology, this text presents an introduction to the study of the atmosphere.

Explanations of basic principles, concepts and processes are supported by informative illustrations and an array of case studies.

This textbook/CD package focuses particularly on examples from the Southern hemisphere.

The authors offer insights into topical environmental concerns including: climate change; global warming; hazards; sustainable population; environmental degradation; agriculture; and drought. Examining issues such as skin cancer, crop growth, weather forecasts and air pollution, the relevance of weather and climate to ordinary life is demonstrated.

The students' "CD-ROM", is a resource of entirely additional material yet closely interrelated with each chapter of the book.

Providing resources for practical work and more advanced study, the CD-ROM features: over 170 extra scientific "Notes", with 60 additional illustrations and tables; interactive numerical, multiple choice and practical exercises and self-assessment tests; extended guides to further reading; key-word searching, extended glossary; teaching suggestions and guides; hypertext presentation and extensive cross-referencing; and clear navigation, print-out and download options.
