weather for pilots?
Are there readers in this newsgroup who have a strong interest in weather as it relates to aviation? I don't mean just the stuff you need to get from point A to B safely or to pass your written but deeper knowledge -- where and why does icing occur? The physics of thunderstorms? Turbulence? Fog and clouds? How are aviation forecasts prepared? What is the technology behind automated weather observations? And how about the meteorological research aircraft that penetrate hurricanes? 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'm both a pilot and a professor of meteorology, and I have already written a couple of successful college textbooks. I've been thinking about the above book as my next possible project, but would only bother if I had a sense that there was real interest. |
