Weather dramatically
influences our lives! Explore historical and present-day influences
weather has on our world - from sunshine and calm skies to gripping
storms and even outcomes in history. Discover how rivers, oceans,
glaciers, groundwater, and the atmosphere all play an integral
role in the ever-moving water cycle of Earth. Understand local
and regional weather patterns in North America, global weather
patterns, and about the layers of our atmosphere. Learn to recognise
cloud types at a glance and predict the weather on the way. Then,
enter the realm of the unusual - examine halos, aurora borealis
(such as the Northern Lights) and the effects of Earth's magnetic
field, and understand why there are so many beautiful colours
in rainbows!

the photos are accompanied by the NOAA caption. This format was
designed to mimic the look and "feel" of a real book.

of the finest photographs provided in high resolution (about
one MB per file).
