Fundamentals of Aviation Meteorology aims to provide an understanding of the physical properties of the atmosphere and how they affect the weather, with an emphasis on the factors affecting aviation. This will help to:
-
appreciate the characteristics of the atmosphere that promote particular cloud formations and weather phenomena;
-
recognise hazardous weather conditions;
-
identify signs of deteriorating weather; and
-
determine if and when a change in weather conditions is likely.
