An Introduction to Weather and Climate

Designed to close a real gap in open meteorology resources, this book offers a beginner-friendly, qualitative survey of the field. Building on the University of Hawai'i's "Atmospheric Processes and Phenomena" and Oregon State University's "Introduction to Climate Science," it serves as an approachable entry point into Meteorology and Climate Science for non-majors and anyone curious about the subject.
