Requests:  0 Summary:  "From the acclaimed author of Tubes, a lively and surprising tour of the infrastructure behind the weather forecast, the people who built it, and what it reveals about our climate and our planet. The weather is the foundation of our daily lives. It's a staple of small talk, the app on our smartphones, and often the first thing we check each morning. Yet behind these quotidian interactions is one of the most expansive machines human beings have ever constructed -- a triumph of science, technology and global cooperation. But what is this 'weather machine' and who created it? In The Weather Machine, Andrew Blum takes readers on a fascinating journey through an everyday miracle. In a quest to understand how the forecast works, he visits old weather stations and watches new satellites blast off. He follows the dogged efforts of scientists to create a supercomputer model of the atmosphere and traces the surprising history of the algorithms that power their work. He discovers that we have quietly entered a golden age of meteorology -- our tools allow us to predict weather more accurately than ever, and yet we haven't learned to trust them, nor can we guarantee the fragile international alliances that allow our modern weather machine to exist. Written with the sharp wit and infectious curiosity Andrew Blum is known for, The Weather Machine pulls back the curtain on a universal part of our everyday lives, illuminating our relationships with technology, the planet, and the global community"--Jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 551.63 Bl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 551.63 Bl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 551.63 Blum Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 551.63 Bl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 551.63 Bl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 551.63 Bl Checked In Add Copy to MyList
