Recommended Readings

[slowjoe]

Hi All,

I am wondering if some people could point me to some good textbooks on hurricanes/tropical weather systems?

I have taken meterology101 but have no intentions of going back to school. Just want to educate myself.


Thanks,
Joe

Welcome to the party slowjoe!

I can't point you to any books off of the top of my head, however,
storm2k is a great place to ask questions and learn about tropical systems.

I recommend Dr. Bob Sheets' book "Hurricane Watch". Bob Sheets was the former director of the National Hurricane Center.

Thanks for the suggestions. Hopefully this summer will be as exciting as last for us in florida.

1) I asked for 'recommendations'
2) the search results in google are totally irrelevant
3) it is easier to hit the browser's back button than post a Smart Alec response
