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!

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

A Google search on 'gliding weather' should reveal some useful sites-mainly
in North America as I recall.

You could also take a look at:
Meteorology for Glider Pilots, 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.

Go to:-

http://www.amazon.co.uk/

and type the name as above: I've just done it and they have copies of
various versions in stock. Also, don't forget your local public
library - even if they haven't got it on the shelf, they will do a
search and track any copies down that might be available for lending.

.... fair point - I had missed that ;-( The Amazon route looks the best
then to obtain a copy. WMO used to publish technical manuals on these
sorts of things - they might be available for lending by the national
Met. authority in Poland perhaps?

Thanks for you support on this. My copy is the Third (International)
edition, published in 1977 by John Murray. I bought it when I first started
gliding and it certainly helped to inspire my amateur interest in
meteorology - combined of course with some direct experience of the
atmosphere's mysterious ways :-)

.... have now had time to look on the WMO site:...

http://www.wmo.ch/index-en.html

This is the publication I was thinking of .....
495 - Handbook of meteorological forecasting for soaring flight
Second edition
1993; xi + 85 pp.
E
ISBN: 92-63-12495-0
Price: SFR 24.-
As you can see, it is available for purchase ... see the web site for
details of how to order and languages available. But, I would hope that
(as in this country), IMGW might have some sort of lending capacity for
specialist publications.

Incidentally, (and this is for the benefit of those within UK), you can
search for such, and many others, by using the National Meteorological
Library and Archive 'Search' facility at:-

http://www.metoffice.com/corporate/library/index.html

I'll add this to the FAQ at next update:... a very useful facility.

Martin.
