Rating:
Summary: Wisconsin and its weather patterns through millions of years
Review: The collaborative effort of Joseph M. Moran (Barbara Hauxhurst Cofrin Professor of Natural Sciences (University of Wisconsin-Green Bay) and Edward J. Hopkins (Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, University of Wisconsin-Madi-son), Wisconsin's Weather And Climate is an informed and informative survey and examination of Wisconsin and its weather patterns through millions of years of history. From how modern-day science uses weather balloons, radar and satellites to monitor changes; to a sweeping view of the changes that have come across the land; Wisconsin's Weather And Climate is a fascinating read, highly recommended for students of meteorology, as well as being completely accessible for non-specialist general readers with an interest in Wisconsin weather history and the impact weather has had on Wisconsin ranging from advances in snow-making technology to the decline of the Great Lakes ice industry.
