UNDERSTANDING WEATHERFAX
by Mike Harris
Every so often
a thin little book is worth its weight in gold. This is one of them. Armed with it, and a weatherfax chart you have all the essentials for making
your own forecast no matter where you are in the world. In 90 short
pages it actually teaches you the weather—but that is only half of it.
The other half—the computer
technical part—is also put to rest. The book explains: sources of
weatherfax images; receiving equipment and software; types of weatherfax
charts; interpreting synoptic chart features; world weather chart patterns;
personal forecasting; tropical storms—their formation, tracking and avoidance.
An appendix lists worldwide
fax stations with their frequencies, call signs, and transmission schedules. SC, 1997, 90 Pages SW 0.5 lbs.
