Written for the undergraduate, non-majors course, the Third Edition engages students with real-world examples and a captivating narrative. It highlights how we observe the atmosphere and then uses those discoveries to explain atmospheric phenomena. Early chapters discuss the primary atmospheric variables involved in the formation of weather: pressure, temperature, moisture, clouds, and precipitation, and include practical information on weather maps and weather observation. The remainder of the book focuses on weather and climate topics such as the interaction between atmosphere and ocean, severe/extreme weather, and climate change.

Our Amazing Atmosphere: An Introduction to Weather and Climate provides students with a comprehensive exploration of the earth's atmosphere. The text places special emphasis on relationships between fundamental variables, such as temperature, pressure, winds, and moisture, and how these variables underlie atmospheric phenomena. This approach allows students to acquire a unified and holistic understanding of the atmosphere. The text begins with chapters covering the basic anatomy of the atmosphere and various influences that govern its behavior. Subsequent chapters explore cloud types and precipitation, along with different types of weather systems, such as thunderstorms, mid-latitude low cyclones, and hurricanes. The book includes a detailed description on how weather forecasts are made and a thorough presentation of weather and climate anomalies, as exemplified by El Nino. Students learn how anomalies like El Nino influence long-term weather worldwide, providing them with a glimpse of the interdependence of the atmosphere and other components of the Earth system. The final chapter addresses the all-important issue of climate change, with emphasis on its scientific basis, using concepts introduced in previous chapters. The second edition features an expanded chapter on climate change, new content drawing parallels between weather forecasting and climate forecasting, and updated information throughout. In providing students with foundational knowledge on weather, climate, and atmosphere, Our Amazing Atmosphere is suitable for introductory courses in geology, geosciences, physics, climatology, or any course that studies climate change.
