    This book is an algebra-based survey of atmospheric science. This book is designed for students and professionals who want to understand and apply basic meteorological concepts, but who do not need to derive equations. The equation and could serve the fields of Atmospheric Science, Meteorology, Environmental Science, Engineering, Air Quality, Climatology, and Geography. The text involve primarily algebra to allow the physical meaning of each term and allow students to plug in numbers to get usable answers. No previous knowledge of meteorology is needed although a background in basic algebra, trigonometry, and classical physics.
