Textbook for Lecture Notes on Weather Instruments Disasters

Abstract

Disasters are hazards which project negative impacts. They are unexpected threats to human life, livelihood, and their properties .The impact of the disaster on human, environment is greater when it is not prepared for or a region cannot afford protective measures. In this respect Scientific and engineering Technology should be developed to provide early warning. The equipment/instrument that provide early warnings are many such as thermometer, barometer, An anemometer and many others. This book shall be useful to diploma and degree students especially those taking courses in meteorological based training, The disaster courses at diploma and degree level will find it useful. The PhD students taking disaster preparedness and engineering management will find this book useful in their main courses. The lecturers who teach the weather instruments will have a humble time in preparation for this course. The curriculum for PhD in disaster preparedness and engineering ,especially weather instrumentation course,is well covered
