Default Sources of information: meteorology texts, apps

I am looking for three things:

1. A text on meteorology. My maths is now good enough (first year university level approximately) to be able to start to make sense of it.

2. A text or source on how numerical forecasting works in meteorology. Although I have a reasonable science background, the transition from atmospheric circulation data to forecasts of circulation to those detailed forecasts we now get is mysterious to me.

3. Are there any good online graphic representations of what the atmosphere is doing, and particularly what the upper-level winds, such as the jet stream are doing? I have the MeteoEarth app, but it seems very limited to me. I can understand why people
might not want such data too widely available.


Thanks

Trevor
