En un momento en el que cambio climatico es tema central de la comunidad internacional, este libro consolida los conocimientos sobre el clima de Puerto Rico de forma conveniente para que sirva de base para una evaluacion objetiva de las condiciones presentes y un analisis confiable de lo que pueda suceder en el futuro. El Dr. Jose A. Colon presenta los factores astronomicos y los principios fisicos y dinamicos del proceso atmosferico y como esos principios se manifiestan para producir el clima de Puerto Rico y su region. Desde la explicacion de las ondas tropicales que se crecen sobre el atlantico desde Africa o los frentes polares que bajan desde el Canada en invierno, desde la formacion de la lluvia o de la marea atmosferica, hasta los intrumentos que se utilizan para medir la presion o la velocidad del viento, Climatologia de Puerto Rico, ofrece datos, aclaran interrogantes, y educa sobre un tema fascinante que cada dia cobra mayor protagonismo.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Climatologia de Puerto Rico (Spanish Edition) (Hardcover)
If want to understand Puerto Rico's weather this is a must have. After you read this book you're going to understand why forecasting Caribbean weather can be a little tricky. The book has great illustrations and tables with everything you want to know about PR's weather. Great Buy, you won't be disappointed. The version I bought is in Spanish, I don't know if there is another version in English.
