The WeatherCycler Learning Materials
The WeatherCycler Slide Chart with Instruction Booklet
A durable 8 1/2" x 11" slide chart that uniquely displays map views and vertical cross sections through Highs, Lows, and fronts -- the broad-scale systems and features that dominate our weather. Sky views and changes in temperature and pressure complete the comprehensive chart depictions.
By simply pulling the chart insert, the weather systems are put into their typical movements from west to east. Weather changes are shown for your location as the weather systems pass by.
Forecasts can be made and verified instantly by flipping to information displayed in two windows on the back side of the chart. Constructed of rugged calculator board with six metal eyelets and printed in four colors. Accompanying four-page instruction booklet describes the basic causes of weather and explains step-by-step how to use The WeatherCycler.
