Meteorology For Seafarers

In this edition Brown, Son & Ferguson have taken the opportunity to incorporate more recent examples of weather bulletins and charts, selected figures have also been enhanced and updated.

Commander C. R. Burgess, former Meteorological Officer in the UK Meteorological Office, Bracknell and in the Royal Navy, completed Meteorology For Seamen in 1950 soon after he joined the Marine Society as Secretary. His book has been a standard work for 30 years, combining the factual presentation of the subject with the then popular question and answer format. A further revision became necessary soon after his death in 1982, and the present authors – Lieutenant-Commander Richard Frampton & Patt Uttridge – with some trepidation accepted the task.
