The Weather and Climate of Southern
Africa, the second edition of The Atmos¬
phere and Weather of Southern Africa,
consolidates and expands Tyson and
Preston-Whyte s definitive textbook on
the meteorology of the region. It
öfters an
introduction to the structure of the
atmosphere and detailed, well-illustrated
discussions on the physics of meteorology,
measurement, weather systems, ocean-
atmosphere interactions, pollution, cli¬
matic change, and forecasting. This new
edition features fully revised, up-to-date
information, over
380
figures and photo¬
graphs, and an extensive glossary
oí
key
terms.
With a new emphasis on the growing
field of climatology, this book is especial¬
ly pertinent to environmental studies on
the developing countries of southern
Africa and the relationship of the sub¬
continent to global weather and climatic
patterns.
The Weather and Climate of Southern Africa
is an invaluable resource for those in the
field and an important, authoritative
textbook for students in environmental
sciences.
