This meteorology manual is first intended for aeronautical users. It is really intended to help you understand the essentials, the most basic atmospheric principles and mechanisms.
It goes without saying that this book includes all the knowledge required for the FCL European programme in its most complete version, the Air Transport Pilot Licence. The language and symbols used, as the illustrations, are essentially aeronautical.
