The western United States is a region of mountains and valleys with the world's largest ocean next door. Its weather is unique. This book discusses how water, wind, and environmental conditions combine to create the climatic conditions of the region. Included are sections describing: fronts; cyclones; precipitation; storms; tornadoes; hurricanes; temperature variations; climatic change; unique conditions; weather maps; weather watching; and resources for further learning. Appended are climatic data, instructions for making a thermometer shelter, and a discussion of wind speed scales. (CW)
