Meteorology Books

#1 Postby Future Met » Mon Feb 14, 2011 11:47 pm

I want to improve my forecasting knowledge, so I need some suggestions on meteorology books. I’m currently taking my final meteorology class in college, but I’m looking for some more advanced material. Any books regarding winter weather forecasting, severe weather forecasting, or numerical weather prediction would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Don't know if its in your curriculum or not, but last year I bought the new mesoscale book from Markowski and Richardson. Its a good read and has some operational usefullness in addition to the heavy equations that one should expect from a good met book. And no, I didn't pay near that much for it.

I'm a sophomore Meteorology major at Texas A&M and I am currently in a Severe Weather and Mesoscale Forecasting class and we are reading a book called Severe and Hazardous Weather by Rauber and also the book mentioned above my post. They are both good books imo :D
