From Raindrops to Volcanoes: Adventures with Sea Surface MeteorologyWhere do raindrops come from? What happens when they hit the sea? What significant events occur where sea and air meet? Research scientist Duncan Blanchard — a Fellow of both the American Meteorological Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science — examines these and many other questions in an effort to promote a better understanding of the atmospheric sciences. In the course of his investigation, he takes readers into the realms of meteorology, oceanography, physics, chemistry, and volcanology. |
