This bibliography was started in 1872 by Prof. Cleveland Abbe, chief scientist in the weather service when it was still part of the U.S. Army Signal Corps. By 1889 the collection had grown to over 60,000 books, dissertations, articles, and pamphlets -- essentially everything printed about meteorology and related topics up to 1889. This bibliography contains over 16,000 of the most important entries in the original collection. It is a new edition that combines 4 volumes into one -- Temperature, Moisture, Winds, and Storms -- and integrates the errata and several supplements into the original text. Over 2/3 of the entries are not in English.

This comprehensive bibliography is an essential resource for anyone interested in the subject of meteorology and storms. Compiled by the United States Army Signal Corps, the bibliography covers a wide range of topics including the physics of weather, the prediction of storms, and the impact of weather on human society. Whether you are a researcher, a student or just someone interested in the weather, this bibliography is an invaluable reference.
