Download or read book Look Up to See What the Weather Will Be written by Guy Brown and published by . This book was released on 2021-11-07 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Should we bring raincoats to the big game? Will the fog lift before we get to the coast? Should we let in the animals in case there is a tornado this afternoon? People love talking about the weather, but it is more than just conversation. Weather can change rapidly and produce suddenly hazardous conditions. Studying data from satellites, radar, and other technology helps us prepare and stay safe. Animals, on the other hand, also need to predict the weather. They rely on their senses to know what to expect so they can stay warm in a blizzard, remain cool in a heat wave, or find food in a fog bank. Hours before we wake up, weather anchor Guy Brownis at the TV studio reviewing atmospheric readings, humidly rates, and Doppler reports. He needs to tell his viewers how to plan for the days ahead. He also introduces some of the animals who forecast weather in environments around the world. With Mario Lugo's vivid art, readers see some of the amazing clouds that bring us wildly different weather and learn how animals use their adaptations to weather the storms. Guy acquaints readers with cloud identification techniques while sharing a glimpse into survival--in town and in the wild.

Download or read book The Secret World of Weather How to Read Signs in Every Cloud Breeze Hill Street Plant Animal and Dewdrop Natural Navigation written by Tristan Gooley and published by The Experiment, LLC. This book was released on 2023-02-28 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn to “see” the forecast in the hidden weather signs all around you—from the New York Times–bestselling author of How to Read a Tree and The Lost Art of Reading Nature’s Signs In The Secret World of Weather, bestselling author Tristan Gooley turns his gaze up to the sky, bringing his signature brand of close observation and eye-opening deduction to the fascinating world of weather. Every cloud, every change in temperature, every raindrop, every sunbeam, every breeze reveals something about our weather—if you know what to look for. Before you know it, you’ll be able to forecast impending storms, sunny days, and everything in between, all without needing to consult your smartphone. But The Secret World of Weather goes far beyond mere weather prediction, changing the very way we think about weather itself. Weather is not something that blankets an area; rather, it changes constantly as you walk through woods or turn down a street. The weather is never identical on two sides of a tree—or even beneath it. Take, for example, Gooley’s remarkable discovery that breezes accelerate beneath a tree. To Gooley, this is “weather,” a tiny microclimate that explains why people sit beneath a tree to cool down—not only for the shade but, subconsciously, for cooler breeze. And so Gooley shows us not only what the weather will be like five days from now, but also what to expect about the weather around every corner. By carefully observing the subtle interplay of wind, cloud, fog, temperature, rain and many other phenomena, we not only form a deeper understanding of weather patterns, but also unlock secrets about our environment. Weather forms our landscape, and landscape forms our weather. Everything we see in the sky reflects where we are. When we learn to read weather’s signs, Gooley shows us, the weather becomes our map, revealing to us how it has made our towns, cities, woods, and hills what they are. You’ll never see your surroundings the same way again.

He’s a meteorologist for The Washington Post, and you might think of him as Doogie Howser meets Bill Paxton from Twister, with a dash of Leonardo DiCaprio from Catch Me If You Can. A self-proclaimed weather nerd, at the age of fourteen he talked his way into delivering a presentation on waterspouts at the American Meteorological Society's annual broadcast conference by fudging his age on the application and created his own major on weather science while an undergrad at Harvard. Combining reportage and accessible science with personal storytelling and infectious enthusiasm, Looking Up is a riveting ride through the state of our weather and a touching story about parents and mentors helping a budding scientist achieve his improbable dreams. Throughout, readers get a tutorial on the basics of weather science and the impact of the climate. As our country’s leaders sound the alarm on climate change, few people have as close a view to how serious the situation actually is than those whose job is to follow the weather, which is the daily dose of climate we interact with and experience every day. The weather affects every aspect of our lives (even our art) as well as our future. The way we think about it requires a whole-life overhaul. Rain or shine, tropical storm or twister, Cappucci is here to help us begin the process. So get in his storm-chasing truck already, will ya?
