Weather book recommendations

I thought I'd mix things up on this fairly quiet weather day, and share some of my favorite weather-related books:


"The Weather Machine: A Journey Inside the Forecast" - Andrew Blum

This well-researched book by Andrew Blum provides a very good overview of what goes into weather models and how they were created.

"Appropriating the Weather : Vilhelm Bjerknes and the Construction of a Modern Meteorology" -Robert Marc Friedman

This book dives deep into the science and work of Vilhelm Bjerknes to develop modern forecasting techniques.

https://www.amazon.com/Appropriating-Weather-Bjerknes-Construction-Meteorology/dp/0801420628/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=appropriating+the+weather&qid=1588715486&s=books&sr=1-1

"The Weather Experiment: The Pioneers Who Sought to See the Future" - Peter Moore

This one covers some nice history of early meteorology.

"Inventing Atmospheric Science: Bjerknes, Rossby, Wexler, and the Foundations of Modern Meteorology" - James Rodger Fleming

This one covers some specific topics that "Appropriating the Weather : Vilhelm Bjerknes and the Construction of a Modern Meteorology" does, but does so with a more historical/ less scientific approach.

https://www.amazon.com/Inventing-Atmospheric-Science-Foundations-Meteorology-ebook/dp/B01BO1LKOI/ref=pd_simd_14_3/146-0793827-2378011?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01BO1LKOI&pd_rd_r=f4b9130a-fa51-4c5e-a40c-417f501120ae&pd_rd_w=nYuMb&pd_rd_wg=p3YKe&pf_rd_p=9fbe42ff-eef8-441e-8157-f50e3fcb818b&pf_rd_r=3PE243CY6DPEGNB1S4F2&psc=1&refRID=3PE243CY6DPEGNB1S4F2

I regret to say that I haven't dug deep into any meteorology textbooks, but that is a goal of mine for this summer.
