Mediterranean Weather Handbook for Sailors

Mediterranean Weather Handbook for Sailors is an indispensable reference providing a general understanding of the various phenomena concurring to determine weather in the Mediterranean, and provide useful forecasting aids. It is written for sailors, not meteorologists; theory is kept to a minimum, while every effort is made to provide clear interpretative tools that are helpful in understanding actual weather and in forecasting its likely future evolution. Roberto Ritossa is a meteorology expert and this handbook is a result of many years research on Mediterranean weather patterns. Contents List: Preface; Introduction; 1.
