About this listen

Thanks to an ongoing revolution in the science of meteorology, we can now understand how extreme weather conditions arise, produce far more accurate forecasts, and know how to protect ourselves when dangerous conditions develop. The Science of Extreme Weather is your field guide to the worst that Earth’s atmosphere can inflict.

In 24 exciting, informative, and potentially life-saving half-hour lectures aimed at weather novices and amateur forecasters alike, you gain a surprisingly powerful tool in the face of such overwhelming forces: knowledge. Even as the population of the globe continues to increase, fewer and fewer people are dying from extreme weather. The credit goes to improved forecasting tools along with more accurate computer models that weigh the countless data points that represent the ever-changing atmosphere. As a result, it is rare for a severe weather event to catch meteorologists by surprise.

Guided by meteorologist, storm chaser, and award-winning teacher Eric R. Snodgrass, you learn the fundamental science that underlies blizzards, flash floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, heat waves, and more. You’ll come away with newfound appreciation and respect for weather’s most awe-inspiring phenomena.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Excellent course. Very informative. He refers to pictures and videos a lot which I can't see.

Very informative

The introduction narrator nearly put me off immediately on the spot he sounded like he was speaking the news. I tried several lectures but they were saying look at this video or slide what?? How can I it’s a audio book how can I look at them? Sorry but it’s off putting.

A good subject but the narrator keeps referring to pictures and videos that we can't see nor is it in the accompanying pdf.

Missing info

I found the subject fascinating and the speaker was clear and interesting. However, he constantly refers to maps and images in his presentation and although some of these are in the PDF, as an audio book a lot is lost. He also refers to many animations. This would be significantly improved by having an accompanying PowerPoint to fill in the blanks. What about it Audible?

Without visuals this much less than it could be
