Looking for any books that will help me understand flying weather better.... nothing weather specific just want to increase my knowledge. I have read the book about the sierra wave project and thats about it.

Thanks

I'm a weather nerd and have a bunch of books on the subject, but some good ones are:

Weather Flying by Bob Buck. Great book by someone who's been there, done that. Awesome. Can't say enough good things.

Aviation Weather by Jeppesen for aviation-specific weather theory and info about how our aviation weather reports are produced and how to interpret them.

Ditto on both of these. I had the honor to meet Bob Buck several years ago, and he was the most pleasant and unassuming gent you can imagine, but what a wealth of knowledge of weather and aviation.

I run my weather station through WeatherUnderground. Great bunch of folks, with a huge amount of weather info and education available on the site and linked.

Gump,

What type of Wx station do you have? I was looking for one that has good enough quality to link onto wunderground. Any input would be good.

I have an Oregon Scientific WMR 968 wireless station, with Virtual Weather software to link it to the computer and Wunderground.

It's not top of the line by any means, and the software is real clunky, but once I figured it out, this station has been pretty much flawless for the past six years. When it goes Tango Uniform I'll look at a higher end unit with Oregon Scientific, or I may go with one of the pro units from Davis.
