In three parts, the book synthesizes developments in quantitative meteorology starting from its very early stages and progressively covers the invention of basic meteorology instruments while highlighting the various turning points and key figures who played roles along the way. The first part addresses the treatment of meteorology during early civilization. Part two goes into the early development of meteorology as a science. Part three covers the science's rapid progression and present-day status while addressing the primary technologies and methodologies used in a variety of areas like weather forecasting, remote sensing, and radar instrumentation. The target audience for the book is students and researchers interested in the history of meteorology as a science, and also general enthusiasts of the subject who have some background on the topic. 606 $aAtmospheric science 606 $aClimatology 606 $aScience$xHistory 606 $aAtmospheric Science 606 $aClimate Sciences 606 $aHistory of Science 615 0$aAtmospheric science. 615 0$aClimatology. 615 0$aScience$xHistory. 615 14$aAtmospheric Science. 615 24$aClimate Sciences. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 676 $a551.50901 700 $aC?uric?$b Mladjen$01076529 702 $aSpiridonov$b Vlado 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910766880803321 996 $aHistory of Meteorology$93650080 997 $aUNINA
