Are you aware that we use sensors& computer simulations to gather meteorological data in effectively processing the information that is distributed worldwide?If you did than the rest of this book probably won't help you all that much as it's mostly fluff and not very extensive or for that matter interesting.
It does touch upon the Euro Model or ECMWF (European Center for Medium Range Weather Forecasts) but the intro level first or second step is not what many readers might have hoped to receive.
A good portion of the book is about the corporate giants trying to take over the weather apps such as Accu Weather in controlling weather forecasting while simultaneously lobbying attacks on the National Weather Service which by the way did you know you can sign up to become a weather spotter volunteer?

We do delve into the history of predicting the weather from the Day Day to the Cold War and beyond in an attempt to remind readers just how fare we've come or in some cases in hopes of getting the monkey off their backs with all the weather jokes.
Either way it wasn't quite as informative as I'd hoped with all these advancements to discuss and for that reason I gave it the three star rating.
