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

Hi Trevor,

I strongly recommend the material available at Comet MetEd

https://www.meted.ucar.edu

You have to register but it's free. There's enough stuff there to keep
you occupied for decades. It's a marvellous resource.
