PDF-[EBOOK]-The Weather Machine: A Journey Inside the Forecast

From the acclaimed author of Tubes a lively and surprising tour through the global network that predicts our weather the people behind it and what it reveals about our climate and our planetThe weather is the foundation of our daily lives Its a staple of small talk the app on our smartphones and often the first thing we check each morning Yet behind all these humble interactions is the largest and most elaborate piece of infrastructure human beings have ever constructeda triumph of both science and global cooperation But what is the weather machine and who created itIn The Weather Machine Andrew Blum takes readers on a fascinating journey through the people places and tools of forecasting exploring how the weather went from something we simply observed to something we could actually predict As he travels across the planet he visits some of the oldest and most important weather stations and watches the newest satellites blast off He explores the dogged efforts of forecasters to create a supercomputer model of the atmosphere while trying to grasp the ongoing relevance of TV weather forecastersIn the increasingly unpredictable world of climate change correctly understanding the weather is vital Written with the sharp wit and infectious curiosity Andrew Blum is known for The Weather Machine pulls back the curtain on a universal part of our everyday lives illuminating our changing relationships with technology the planet and our global community .

From the acclaimed author of Tubes, a lively and surprising tour through the global network that predicts our weather, the people behind it, and what it reveals about our climate and our planetThe weather is the foundation of our daily lives. It’s a staple of small talk, the app on our smartphones, and often the first thing we check each morning. Yet behind all these humble interactions is the largest and most elaborate piece of infrastructure human beings have ever constructed—a triumph of both science and global cooperation. But what is the weather machine, and who created it?In The Weather Machine, Andrew Blum takes readers on a fascinating journey through the people, places, and tools of forecasting, exploring how the weather went from something we simply observed to something we could actually predict. As he travels across the planet, he visits some of the oldest and most important weather stations and watches the newest satellites blast off. He explores the dogged efforts of forecasters to create a supercomputer model of the atmosphere, while trying to grasp the ongoing relevance of TV weather forecasters.In the increasingly unpredictable world of climate change, correctly understanding the weather is vital. Written with the sharp wit and infectious curiosity Andrew Blum is known for, The Weather Machine pulls back the curtain on a universal part of our everyday lives, illuminating our changing relationships with technology, the planet, and our global community.  Forecasting & Models.
