Hoping to learn everything I could about weather, forecasting, and reading the trends, I bought a few recommended weather books including Mariner's Weather from Daschew and The Weather Book from USA Today. The latter does a very good job of digesting the complex into clear and understandable terms. Yes, into cartoons.
For better or worse, I ended up with the second edition from 1997. Dashew's book is from the same era; my first printing copy is from December 1998. While the internet was around by then, it was a far different place than it is today and the resources covered by the second edition reflect accordingly. I have intended to get around to buying a newest edition figuring that it would address the resources available to folks using the modern internet, but it looks like mine is the newest edition.
Amazon provides a long list of weather books, but the ratings are from God knows who. Weather impacts most everything we do on the water. So what do you guys recommend as a weather text book that reflects today's modern tools and resources?
