Weather for Sailors
North U, Bill Biewenga . Written by Bill Biewenga and edited by the meteorologists at Commanders' Weather, this book explains weather from a sailor's perspective, starting with global weather and narrowing in to explain how local forces and regional weather patterns interact to create the sailor's weather. From there the workbook shows how to interpret forecasts and apply predictions to improve your sailing performance. Included are dozens of examples showing how to see if a forecast is "coming true" and how to apply a forecast to a particular race or cruise.

Weather for Sailors (CD)
North U, Bill Biewenga and Bill Gladstone. Weather is dynamic, and this CD-Rom puts weather in motion. You'll see how global, regional, and local weather phenomena interact to create the local sailing wind. You'll understand how and why an approaching front will shift local winds, and what to expect as it passes. You'll see how weather differs in different positions around a system. You'll watch as regional gradient weather battles local events for control of surface winds. You'll marvel at how you can see into the future (that's a forecast!) when you understand the dynamics of weather in three dimensions! Windows and Mac compatible.
