Author: Bruce Anderson

Bruce Anderson is an atmospheric scientist and educator whose research and teaching address weather variability, climate dynamics, and the interpretation of environmental data. Visualizing Weather and Climate, written with geographer Alan H. Strahler, introduces atmospheric processes through maps, diagrams, photographs, and other visual explanations. Wiley issued the first edition in collaboration with the National Geographic Society, positioning the book within its Visualizing series. The chapters connect daily weather observations with larger systems, including circulation, storms, climate regions, and long-term change. Anderson’s scientific background supports the treatment of forecasting and climate evidence, while Strahler contributes extensive experience in physical geography and textbook writing. The volume is designed to help students move between local examples and global patterns rather than memorize isolated terms. Visualizing Weather and Climate is therefore a collaborative textbook, not a single-author monograph, and its full attribution is essential to understanding how atmospheric science and geographic interpretation are combined throughout the work.
