Default Newbie wants reading suggestions!

Mike

I'm no expert and there are far more learned people on this news group
than I. However, as an electrical engineer, I found "Elementary
Meteorology" published by HMSO absolutely invaluable. It explains the
basics in a scientific, but not overly complicated fashion.

I'm not sure if it's still available new although Amazon have it listed
on their "new and used" section from GBP 6.23

http://tinyurl.com/y7lssf to see the listings.

random remark some months ago!).
It's set up and working fine (although I'm surprised at some of the lack
of high wind speeds I'm getting; and while the Heavy Weather software
works fine, the publisher module is defeating me at them moment).

What I now need is some background reading to help me get the best from
the readings I'm getting, and to help me towards a better understanding
of the subject.

I'd prefer a real physical book (or books), rather than websites - but,
hey, you lot are the experts!
Searching Amazon wasn't very enlightening.
Having some scienctific content doesn't worry me unduly (I'm a scientist
(Biomedical Scientist) by profession) but I don't want a heavyweight
learned tome - after all I'm dipping my toe into a possible new hobby.
So go ahead and suggest!
