"According to a new book written by Surrey’s Professor Ian Roulstone and

Oxford University’s Professor John Norbury, the weather will never be
entirely predictable, despite being one of the most highly studied and
technologically advanced sciences in the modern world.

That is because forecasts for the weather on modern charts also contain forecasts for the complete range of other geo-phenomenon.

For what it's worth if they could correct them to remopve those butterflies, it would be a disaster.

" ‘Invisible in the Storm: The Role of Mathematics in Understanding Weather’
explores how mathematics and meteorology come together [...] taking readers
on a fascinating journey through the work of trailblazing scientists over
the past 100 years."

Yes, must be about the most readable technical meteorology book I have ever
read. I thought I noticed an error near the top of p.182, where it flatly
contradicted something in the middle of the previous page. I communicated
this to Princeton UP but got no reply, so perhaps the error might have been
mine.

Trying to get a reply, you mean?
