What about weather books?
I have started two so far and found them to be less than appropriate for the beginner. They are:
Understanding Flying weather - Derek Pigott
Air Riders Weather - Alan Watts
The problem with them is that they don't explain what they say. They say things like:
winds flowing into an area of low pressure must exit it, otherwise the depression would fill in very quickly.
OK so I know that the air does exit, I can even explain the angles of entrance and exit, but I have no idea why it does not just fill up. Maybe it's just the way that I work, but I need a mental model of these things, not just a list of facts.
For this reason, I can read the book, but I have to read each paragraph about 10 times and make my own model of what is happening and figure out for myself why it is how they are describing it, which I assume is right, but you know what they say about assumption... These people may be good at their subject, but are no good as teachers.
Anyone know a good graphic book or video I can use a basis before reading these less descriptive books?
