Inhaltsangabe

Synoptic Analysis and Forecasting: An Introductory Toolkit provides the bridge between the introductory fundamentals of a meteorology course and advanced synoptic-dynamic analysis for undergraduate students. It helps students to understand the principles of weather analysis, which will complement computer forecast models. This valuable reference also imparts qualitative weather analysis and forecasting tools and techniques to non-meteorologist end users, such as emergency/disaster managers, aviation experts, and environmental health and safety experts who need to have a foundational knowledge of weather forecasting.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Dr. Shawn Milrad has taught synoptic-dynamic meteorology, weather forecasting, and climate dynamics courses at three universities since 2009, including at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University since 2013. He has also developed innovative student forecasting initiatives and severe weather field courses. The author is strongly committed to the proper teaching and training of weather analysis and forecasting concepts to diverse international audiences. Dr. Milrad’s research focuses on extreme weather events such as heat waves, floods, severe convection, and ice storms. In 2023–2024, Dr. Milrad was chosen for a prestigious Fulbright Scholar Award, through which he is currently a guest researcher at the University of Bergen in Norway, studying extreme heat and associated human health impacts. Much of Dr. Milrad’s passion comes from educating and mentoring the next generation of atmospheric scientists and weather-adjacent professionals, such as those in the aviation and emergency management fields. Of Dr. Milrad’s 33 peer-reviewed publications since 2009, 11 had first authors who were his undergraduate research assistants.
