Produced under the American Meteorological Society's educational initiative, Project ATMOSPHERE, as a reference for over 3000 terms used in meteorology, climatology, oceanography and hydrology. Intended for educators, students and the public, its preparation was inspired by contemporary interest in the atmosphere and global change, and by the absence of a timely and comprehensive glossary for the public.
