The Atmosphere

The Atmosphere: An Introduction to Meteorology, 14th Edition, provides an introductory textbook designed for college meteorology courses. Published by Pearson, the volume introduces undergraduate students to fundamental atmospheric processes and weather phenomena.

The text uses a largely non-technical narrative to explain physical principles alongside coverage of atmospheric events. This approach allows students to explore meteorology through direct connections between foundational science and real-world occurrences.

Visual instruction throughout the book is accompanied by artwork developed by science illustrator Dennis Tasa, supporting readers as they examine atmospheric science.
