ABOUT THE BOOK

“”Atmospheric Pressure and Wind”” is meticulously designed for students preparing for competitive exams like SAU/PG, Ph.D., ICAR-JRF, and SRF. It addresses a gap by integrating crucial weather information relevant to general and agricultural science in a multiple-choice format.

The book covers a wide range of topics: atmospheric pressure, measurement instruments, units, factors affecting pressure, diurnal and seasonal variations, global pressure systems, and their impact on crops. It also explores wind formation, global wind systems, and phenomena like cyclones, hurricanes, and tornadoes.

Furthermore, it discusses wind belts (doldrums, trade winds, prevailing westerlies, and polar easterlies), sea and land breezes, mountain winds, and the impact of wind on crops.

Besides exam preparation, it is a valuable resource for students in atmospheric, agricultural, and environmental sciences and an indispensable guide for research scholars. By presenting structured information, it aids in understanding and applying core concepts, making it essential for addressing atmospheric science challenges, especially in the context of climate change.
