Aviation
Weather Laboratory Manual
(© Jeppesen 1998, 2001, 2007) ~200pp
17 Exercises
This
manual is designed as a companion to Aviation
Weather, 3rd Edition. The Manual consists of 17 exercises
that parallel the presentation of material in the text.
Its purpose is to expand and enhance the material in that
textbook with some applications of textbook material to
practical exercises and problems.
The layout of the 2007 version of the Lab Manual remains the
same as the earlier version, however, several details such as
TAF and AIRMET/SIGMET formats have been updated along with related
questions. A decision was made to retain the mostly black-and-white
exercise maps in order to display integrated information (e.g.,
surface maps with adequate data for analysis). For a first course
in aviation meteorology, these formats encourage mental connections
between meteorological variables such as pressure and wind. This
is especially true when they are used with a few simple hand
analyses of meteorological data. A few new tasks have also been
added to encourage the use of the Internet.
