Anyone have any meteorology books?
 
I am looking in particular for two met books that I think were published by the Bureau of Met some time ago. I think they were titled 'General Meteorology' and 'Aviation Meteorology'.
I had a copy of each (thin, blue volumes from memory), but must have lost them in one of the moves.
If anyone has a copy of either or both that they'd be willing to part with, please let me know.:ok:

Informative books for sure - you might try the Government Bookshop or a Pilot's shop for:
Manual of Meteorology Part 1 - General Meteorology ISBN ? ??? ????? ?
Manual of Meteorology Part 2 - Aviation Meteorology ISBN 0 642 01353 5
I paid $3.50 for mine in 1977.
Check out http://www.bom.gov.au/info/catalogue/pbscat.pdf
Good luck

Those 2 books have been out of print for about 2 years now. BOM have released a brilliant new book on Aviation Met available from Airservices or most pilot shops for about $65 which is a much expanded version of those two books. You will not be dissapointed in it if you have a look.

Only 4 things you need to know really - stratus cloud, icing, CBs, and mountain waves can all KILL you!
