Default weather for pilots?

In a nutshell, I'm trying to gauge the potential interest in a book
that would satisfy the curiosity of the more scientifically minded
pilot. Does such a book already exist?


I would personally find such a book interesting.

Unfortunately, with pilot numbers dropping, I suspect your efforts wouldn't
get you on the NY Times best-seller list...

Bull****. the only weather book you're interested in is one that tells you
how to operate a gadget that absolves you from having to think.

And you couldn't understand the FAAs entry written at the 6th grade level.

If that were my goal, my book would be called "The Pictorial Kama
Sutra Guide to Losing Weight and Getting Rich"

I have the good fortune of having a daughter who is a meteorlogist (as
is her boyfriend). We were flying and saw this really wierd cloud. We
were having dinner with them that evening (not bad considering I only
see the kid about 5 time a year) and they had the cloud named in a few
minutes and said "That's really weird that you saw that as it only
occurs at the point of a wind shear and the shear usually takes all the
moisture out of the cloud". Once I told them we were over a lake at the
time they just nodded and said "local moisture source". the cloud
looked like a corkscrew laying on it's side. If I'd had a clue I would
have climbed 2,000 feet and avoided having my teeth knocked around!

I'm sure I don't need to remind you, Margy, of the old maxim that a student
pilot spends literally WEEKS studying about weather, the private pilot
spends DAYS planning a flight, the commercial pilot spends an hour or two
before a long flight, and an ATP can just take one good look at a flight
attendant and tell whether.
