You could also take a look at:
, by C. E. Wallington (first published in
1961).
This was the definitive text on gliding met. in its day and still contains

a
great deal of useful material.

In addition to suggestions made so far have a look at
Understanding Flying Weather by Derek Piggott (ISBN 0 7136 4346 3) good

for
Bronze C syllabus
Air Riders' Weather by Alan Watts (ISBN 0 7136 3570 3)
http://tinyurl.com/2xhae links to an article by Tom Bradbury (you can
navigate from there to other articles by Tom) who also writes in

Sailplane
and Gliding (UK)-but articles not available online).
A Google search on 'gliding weather' should reveal some useful

sites-mainly
in North America as I recall.

I am interested problems concern weather for gliding.
Can I find a good books or wewb sites about meteorology for gliding
(basic
knowledge about phenomenones in atmosphere) and in training
(schooling)
glider's pilot.

... anything written by Tom (T.A.M) Bradbury ...

the work that most would not do without is
" Meteorology and flight", published in 1991;

Have a look at Jack Harrison's web site as well ... stuffed full of

good
ideas, and written by someone who knows!
