Meteorology Today, Second Canadian Edition, combines the latest in Canadian weather, climate, and Earth science research to introduce students to the atmosphere. This engaging and highly visual text shows students how to observe, calculate, and synthesize information as budding scientists, systematically analyzing meteorological concepts and issues. Specific discussions centre on severe weather systems such as tornadoes, thunderstorms, and hurricanes as well as on everyday elements such as wind, precipitation, condensation, air masses and fronts, and energy and its role in the atmosphere. Events and issues dominating today’s news cycles also receive thorough attention and include analysis of drought on the Canadian prairies, flooding in southern Alberta, changing sea ice in the Arctic, recent findings from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and more. Meteorology Today is a dynamic learning resource packed with self-testing features such as end-of-chapter summaries, key terms, review questions, exercises and problems that take student learning to atmospheric heights.

METEOROLOGY TODAY has for many years been one of the most widely used and authoritative texts for the introductory meteorology course. Each edition is extensively reviewed by leading researchers in the field to ensure that the text remains completely up-to-date and reflects today's current understanding of meteorological concepts. Author Donald Ahrens has been widely praised for his ability to explain relatively complicated ideas so that even under-prepared students can understand them. The text's clear and inviting presentation is supplemented by numerous pedagogical features that help augment students' understanding. Introductory stories found at the beginning of each chapter draws students naturally into the discussion. In-chapter reviews then help students to consolidate their understanding as they read, while four types of end-of-chapter exercises provide opportunities for everything from further review to in-class discussion questions. Graphics are carefully designed and subsequently refined so that the key ideas clearly emerge. Many of the photos in the book are taken by the author and provide unmatched images of dramatic weather phenomena. A unique and popular feature over this title's seven editions has been the foldout cloud chart at the back of the book. The package of teaching and learning tools to accompany this text will now include course management, and a FREE, brand-new, student tutorial system - MeteorologyNow. MeteorologyNow is Web-based, assessment-driven, completely flexible, and contains a wealth of book-specific interactivities. It also offers a personalized learning plan based on each student?s assessment results, helping the student focus on the concepts they don?t yet understand. This complete teaching package provides each student with fun, interactive learning opportunities and an even greater chance for success.
