This is an informative, up-to-date and well-illustrated guide to planetary observations for amateurs. After a brief description of the solar system and a chapter on the celestial sphere, readers are shown how to choose, test and use a telescope with various accessories and how to make observations and record results. For each planet and the asteroids, details are given of observational techniques, together with suggestions for how to make contributions of scientific value. From a general description and detailed observational history of each planet, observers can anticipate what they should see and assess their own observations. The chapter on planetary photography includes the revolutionary use of videography, charge coupled devices and video-assisted drawing. There are also chapters on making maps and planispheres and on photoelectric photometry.

This handbook provides a comprehensive, practical, and independent guide to all aspects of making weather observations. The second edition has been fully updated throughout with new material, new instruments and technologies, and the latest reference and research materials. Traditional and modern weather instruments are covered, including how best to choose and to site a weather station, how to get the best out of your equipment, how to store and analyse your records and how to share your observations. The book's emphasis is on modern electronic instruments and automatic weather stations. It provides advice on replacing 'traditional' mercury-based thermometers and barometers with modern digital sensors, following implementation of the UN Minamata Convention outlawing mercury in the environment. The Weather Observer's Handbook will again prove to be an invaluable resource for both amateur observers choosing their first weather instruments and professional observers looking for a comprehensive and up-to-date guide.

Download Fire-weather Observers' Handbook Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The overall objective of the handbook is to improve both the reliability and comparability of data collected at fire-weather stations. To accomplish this, the handbook offers uniform standards and procedures designed to avoid, or at least minimize, the major sources of error commonly associated with weather measurement. These sources of error have been identified as: (1) instrumental error; (2) observational error; (3) exposure error; and (4) sampling error (Smith 1970). The standards and procedures provided to deal with the above sources of error are consistent with well-established practices of meteorological organizations and fire control agencies. Publications of the National Weather Service (United States); Meteorological Division, Department of Transport (Canada); World Meteorological Organization (United Nations); USDA Forest Service; and Canada Department of Forestry were major sources for the development of the recommended standards.
