4.0 out of 5 stars Well-written, clear, and a very descriptive analysis, January 2, 1999

This review is from: Essentials of Meteorology: An Invitation to the Atmosphere (Paperback)

I am a college student at the Univeristy of Colorado at Boulder. I was required to read Ahrens book and I found it very helpful and informative. At times it was a little dull and simple, but it covered the atmosphere and weather related topics extremely well. I recommend this text to anyone interested in weather. The pictures and graphs were great too!
