Scientifically train your "ability to read the weather." This book is a comprehensive collection of 100 questions + detailed answers and explanations, fully aligned with the Japan Meteorological Agency's Weather Forecaster Examination (Part 1: Science - General Knowledge). From the basic theories of meteorology to the structure of the atmosphere, thermodynamics, wind, radiation, clouds, and precipitation mechanisms, frequently tested topics are systematically organized. From beginners to experienced examinees, you can efficiently learn the knowledge necessary to pass the exam with this single book. --- Contents of this book: • Chapter 1: Basic Knowledge of Meteorology Explains atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity, the causes of wind, and global atmospheric circulation from the basics. • Chapter 2: Thermodynamics and Radiation Understand adiabatic changes, latent heat, radiative equilibrium, potential temperature, and heat transport. • Chapter 3: Cloud and Precipitation Mechanisms Systematically organizes condensation nuclei, cloud particle growth, precipitation processes, and the development process of cumulonimbus clouds. • Chapter 4: Classification and Factors of Meteorological Phenomena Learn the characteristics of fronts, low-pressure systems, typhoons, monsoons, and foehn winds. • Chapter 5: Atmospheric Dynamics and Meteorological Analysis Organizes the Coriolis force, geostrophic wind, and extratropical cyclone models in an easy-to-understand manner, using equations. --- Features: • 100 questions selected from frequently tested topics • Detailed answers and explanations for each question to deepen understanding • Learning design that emphasizes the connection between "theory" and "phenomena"
