Collection Highlights -- Meteorology
We admire the beauty of the blue sky, rainbow and twilight. We stand in awe of the power of storms and lightning. Not only does weather affect our lives everyday, the dynamics in the atmosphere brings us wonders and inspirations.
The books and media displayed here use non-technical language to tell the story of weather formation, development of weather observation and forecasting, climate changes and other meteorological phenomena.
