Summary "Meteorology: The Science of the Atmosphere" by Charles Fitzhugh Talman is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the complex science of the atmosphere, including weather phenomena and the various factors influencing climate and air composition. It aims to demystify meteorology, providing insights into the crucial role that atmospheric conditions play in everyday life. The opening of the book sets the stage with a detailed explanation of air, highlighting the difference between popular and scientific perceptions of this essential element. Talman clarifies that the atmosphere is not a uniform substance, but rather a mixture of gases with distinct properties, such as oxygen and nitrogen. He discusses the consistent proportions of these gases close to the earth's surface and explains the significance of atmospheric study, emphasizing the importance of understanding how these gases interact and change at different altitudes, thereby laying the groundwork for the exploration of meteorological principles that follow in subsequent chapters.
