  • Description: This text describes in simple terms a new paradigm for understanding the atmosphere, that goes beyond just 'weather' and 'climate.' Veering from the popular expression that 'the climate is what you expect, the weather is what you get', this book takes the reader by the hand and explains that there is a third regime - macroweather - in between the weather and climate.
