Practical Exercises in Elementary Meteorology

"Practical Exercises in Elementary Meteorology" by Robert DeCourcy Ward is a science book designed as a hands-on guide for students to study weather. The book highlights how important meteorology is for understanding the weather changes we see every day and how those changes affect important things like farming and how we get around. It begins by explaining how the exercises are set up and why they matter, with a focus on simple observations like writing down the temperature, whether the wind is blowing, what the sky looks like, and if it's raining or snowing. The manual aims to help students learn how to collect weather information in an organized way, building a solid base of knowledge about the atmosphere and its connections to our daily lives for more advanced studies in the future.
