Description
In The Weather Machine, Andrew Blum takes readers on a journey to understand how the weather forecast works. He visits old weather stations and watches new satellites blast off. He follows the dogged efforts of scientists to create a supercomputer model of the atmosphere and traces the history of the algorithms that power their work. Our tools allow us to predict weather more accurately than ever, yet we haven't learned to trust them. Nor can we guarantee the fragile international alliances that allow our modern weather machine to exist. The Weather Machine pulls back the curtain on a universal part of our everyday lives, illuminating our relationships with technology, the planet, and the global community.
