Book
The weather machine : a journey inside the forecast / Andrew Blum.
This book chronicles Andrew Blum's exploration of the world of weather and the people who watch it. Blum visits some of the world's most far-off weather stations and watches the newest satellites blast off. He explores the dogged efforts of computational forecasters to create a living supercomputer model of the atmosphere by dialing in tens of thousands of constantly shifting variables. And he dives inside the weather app on your phone to see how the cloud in the sky becomes the cloud on your screen.
