"I read this book from the viewpoint of a professional who spent a good portion of his career working with the interpretation of satellite imagery. The book is excellent and will serve not only the beginning student but the professional meteorologist as well. Students will be able to follow and understand each topic the book presents, and professionals will find it helpful in refreshing their memory on various aspects of imagery interpretation. This is a fine book that should be in every scientist's library. It will benefit all who use it." -- Sol Hirsch, Capitol Weather Consultants
