The Weather Observer's Handbook provides a comprehensive, practical and independent guide to all aspects of making weather observations. Traditional and modern weather instruments are covered, including how best to choose and site a weather station, how to get the best out of your equipment, and how to store, analyse and share your records. The book's emphasis is on modern electronic instruments and automatic weather stations, with advice on replacing traditional mercury-based thermometers and barometers with modern digital sensors following the UN Minamata Convention outlawing mercury in the environment.
It will again prove an invaluable resource for both amateur observers choosing their first weather instruments and professional observers looking for a comprehensive, up-to-date guide.
