AERN 240: Aviation Weather

"Fully updated edition of the comprehensive, single-source reference on satellite technology and its applications Covering both the technology and its applications, Satellite Technology is a comprehensive reference on satellites and their commercial, scientific and military applications. "

"The weather and the climates it produces across the tropical zone are significantly different from those experienced by the people living in higher latitudes, so forecasters across Europe and much of North America are unfamiliar with its effects. In this book, Jim Galvin demystifies the topic in this zone that is increasingly of interest to those studying weather and climate."

"This new textbook seeks to promote a deep yet accessible understanding of mesoscale-convective processes in the atmosphere. "

"...provides a detailed introduction to the principles of Doppler and polarimetric radar, focusing in particular on their use in the analysis of weather systems. The design features and operation of practical radar systems are highlighted throughout the book in order to illustrate important theoretical foundations. "

" Author Dr. David Ison takes you through the fundamental knowledge and skills necessary to operate both airborne and datalink weather radar. With a focus on simplicity and real-world application, Dr. Ison introduces and explains the essential concepts of radar operation and interpretation."

"
The FAA's Advisory Circular (AC) 00-45H, "Aviation Weather Services" lays out clearly the many U.S. aviation weather products and services available to pilots. It organizes this weather information into the three distinct areas of observations, analyses, and forecasts. The new edition brings the pilot and operator up-to-date on cutting-edge and evolving weather facilities and capabilities for planning a safe and efficient flight, along with descriptions of the traditional weather products also available."

"
The Federal Aviation Administration's Airplane Flying Handbook provides pilots, student pilots, aviation instructors, and aviation specialists with information on every topic needed to qualify for and excel in the field of aviation. Topics covered include: Ground operations Cockpit management The four fundamentals of flying Integrated flight control Slow flights Stalls Spins Takeoff Ground reference maneuvers Night operations And much more The Airplane Flying Handbook is a great study guide for current pilots and for potential pilots who are interested in applying for their first license. It is also the perfect gift for any aircraft or aeronautical buff."

"In print for more than 30 years, this book in its Fourth Edition blends in good coverage of detection equipment for the cockpit, and the weather briefing information available to the pilot for decision-making in flight planning - even the enroute phase. Details on aircraft icing certification, critical aircraft icing information, and high altitude ice crystals are also included."

"With contributions from leading experts, this volume is intended to be a valuable addition, and useful resource, for aerospace manufacturers and suppliers, governmental and industrial aerospace research establishments, airline and aviation industries, university engineering and science departments, and industry analysts, consultants, and researchers."

"This e-supplement lists icing and winter weather-related recommendations that NTSB has issued since 1996, including the number, issue date, close data, most-wanted status, and description of each recommendation."
