Physical Descriptionxv, 383 p. illus., plates
Summary, Etc.The science of meteorology attempts to gain insight into the physical laws or relationships that determine the state of the atmosphere. The practical applications of such knowledge include; (1) prediction of future weather to guide in planning human activities; (2) adaptation of human activities to the weather; and (3) modification of weather. Most people are familiar with the first application because of the daily weather forecasts, but those whose activities are especially sensitive to the environment have long been concerned also with the second. The third application, weather modification, has received sporadic, generally minor attention until recently, when attempts to increase rainfall by cloud seeding have renewed interest among both lay and professional meteorologists
