Great Book, NOT a Substitute for the Five Day Course.......2007-06-15
This is one of four weather books I recommend, the other three are hot-linked below. It is a truly great book with both white space and color images, easy to read font, and a sensible easy to understand roadmap for integrating satellite imagery, upper air (500 milibar) and surface forecasts and sea state charts.
After I finished the five day course in Advanced Meterology, I created a short guide for myself that I could share with others, and this book was very helpful as a reference to complement the binder that I received with the course.

Ambiguous explainations.......2006-05-06
I learn pretty well from books and have taught myself some rather complex things that way. As a sailor and technical person, with some understanding of weather prediction and understanding weather charts going in, I still found the information difficult to assimilate. The author frequently uses terms without defining them, and his descriptions are often ambiguous, making understanding the material frustrating. I am reading it for the second time, and still find this to be the case. For example, he will make reference to something "below the [upper level] trough", and you need to somehow figure out whether he means closer to the equator, since the plane of the waves is north-south; or closer to the earth. The material is very useful, but he needed a better editor or proof-reader
Disappointed.......2003-11-03
As a scientist, physician, and sailor, I consider myself fairly good at assimilating technical material, but I had trouble with this book. The author (like the NOAA meterologists who write those impenetrable forecast discussions) does not seem content to stick with one set of terms. A better editor would have helped him do so. One of the main thrusts of the text is the relationship between upper atmosphere phenomena (troughs and ridges) and surface conditions. After reading the book, I still don't have a satisfying grasp of how this relationship works, mainly, I think, because the phenomena are defined in descriptive rather than mechanistic terms. I am going to read it again, but will be looking for something better.
To the point, well written.......2002-06-30
Yep, I think if I had to take one book on weather for a sailor, then this would be it. I really like the sequence with which he presents his topics, which makes it easy to follow. Loads of examples, weather fax charts, etc., which makes it easy to compare to current stuff and see what's going on out there. I love it.
Simple, yet comprehensive and practical.......2001-05-22
This is the best weather prediction guide I've seen. Michael Carr makes it easy to understand and interpret weather prediction models and provides plenty of examples so you can make sense of those satellite images available online! Not only that, he applies his extensive blue water sailing experience in helping to identify appropriate tactics for heavy weather avoidance. I wouldn't go to sea without it.
Book Description
The riveting account of a 1913 storm that paralyzed the heart of America
Autumn gales have pursued mariners across the Great Lakes for centuries. On Friday, November 7, 1913, those gales captured their prey. After four days of winds up to 90 miles an hour, freezing temperatures, whiteout blizzard conditions, and mountainous seas, 19 ships had been lost, two dozen had been thrown ashore, 238 sailors were dead, and the city of Cleveland was confronting the worst natural disaster in its history.
In White Hurricane, writer and mariner David G. Brown combines narrative intensity with factual depth to re-create the events of the "perfect storm" that struck America's heartland. Interweaving human drama, mystery, and historical consequence, Brown has created a vast epic ranging over Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, and Erie and echoing down the decades.

Best yet.......2007-08-24
Brown's presentation of the "Big Blow" is the best compilation of information currently available. The central "character" is the storm, and while jumping from one ship to another might seem confusing, that is exactly what the storm was. While Barcus' "Freshwater Fury" is very good, Brown excels in that he not only shows the problems modern historians have in trying to understand the meager records of the day, but also has consulted trained meteorologists in an attempt to give the whole picture. While he does apply some speculation, in most cases he presents it as such.
While this is the best, it's not perfect. A comparison of many authors who have published works on this storm reveals many glaring contradictions, even though all are recognized historians. Brown does better than the others in acknowledging conflicting accounts, and given that many reports and records of the time were designed for sensationalism or covering mistakes, one must expect some variety in the conclusions of the authors. My own preference would be to have all the sources footnoted and compared, but that would have made a tome that few would be able to handle. Because Brown makes a couple of minor errors it still leaves one wondering where the line is between historical fact and reasonable speculation.
I read this book before purchasing it for my library. I think it's worth having there.
The Great Lakes Perfect Storm of 1913.......2007-02-22
In "White Hurricane" the reader is taken on a fascinating and frightening trip across each of the Great Lakes during the November Gale of 1913. Winds would reach 90 miles an hour, and waves cresting intense heights of 35 feet.
With a dozen ships sunk, another twenty five stranded (or shored), and at least 250 lives lost. "White Hurricane" keeps the reader on edge, and in suspense as Brown jumps, back and forth, from ship to ship...While describing the terrifying events of those five days on the Great Lakes.
The only draw-back of Browns jumping is the reader needs to pay close attention as to where he leaves off, with each ship.
Other than that, the book is highly interesting, moving, and suspenseful. It touches the heart of the reader, and the sailors come alive, and Brown pulls the reader into the events of the storm, causing a chilling feeling, as if they were there.
Brown also describes the inadequacies of the National Weather Service in 1913, and how the events of this storm would bring about improvement. Also, rescue services would immensely improve over the years, the rescue crews of 1913 were a courageous lot beyond compare. The tid-bits of information regarding the attempts the rescue crews made, send chills down the readers spine.
White Hurricane is a recommended read, with interesting facts of history and America's deadliest maritime disaster.
MAKES "THE PERFECT STORM" LOOK LIKE A PICNIC.......2004-12-25
In November 1913, multiple storm systems collided above the Great Lakes, fueling a deadly maelstrom that lasted several days. There was no ship-to-shore radio. Meteorology was in its infancy; the jet stream hadn't even been discovered yet. Weather news was transmitted via telegraph, and then signal flags were hoisted at assorted spots along shorelines to warn mariners. It wasn't enough.
After unseasonably warm weather in the 60s, ships docked along all the Great Lakes set out for their final trip of the season. For many of them, it was their final trip, period.
The author compiles a staggering quantity of data from a by-gone era to present a sequential, methodical telling of the multitude of ships which sailed headlong into the worst Great Lakes storm in recorded history. While his wide-ranging narrative can sometimes lose the reader in a blizzard of names and places, gradually a larger picture comes clear of flesh-and-blood men struggling to just get home against unimaginable odds. This book evokes tension, courage, even nightmares, followed by heartwrenching tales of frozen bodies washing up on beaches, lifeboats occupied by dead sailors lashed to their seats, and even a message in a bottle hastily penned by a man who knew he'd be dead in minutes (and whose corpse indeed washed ashore a few weeks after this bottle was found). This is man vs. nature, this is man looking into the abyss, this is man meeting his Maker in no uncertain terms.
The next time you stroll along a sunny beach with the water washing around your ankles, consider this:
Your ship battles 30-foot waves driven by sustained 70-mph winds. Out on deck, there's a jackline which extends from bow to stern, specifically to help sailors walk safely along the ship's deck in rough seas. That jackline is now coated with ice as thick as a man's torso. Soon the waves smash out the pilothouse windows. Skylights in the boiler room have also shattered; men somehow continue to shovel coal into the engines while knee-deep in 40-degree water. One gigantic wave actually crushes the pilothouse; all hope of navigation has now vanished. The captain shouts to drop anchor; within minutes the anchor's chain snaps like twine. The ship's inch-thick steel plating begins to crack, and iron rivets snap like buttons. There's nothing to do now but pray and wait to drown--and every minute lasts an eternity.
Entertaining & accurate; better than fiction........2004-07-13
Dave Brown has really done the necessary, comprehensive research. His description of Great Lakes' shipping is 100% accurate. The reporting is factual and not embellished with contrived dialogue. I was an engineer in Great Lakes and ocean ships, one cited in the book, and can visualize the events he described and emphasize with the crewmen's situations.
The last trip of the season.......2003-12-17
Ninety years ago this November, one of the worst disasters in Great Lakes history took place over a period of four days, when twelve ships foundered and thirty-one were stranded, and 253 sailors drowned during the deadliest storm ever to hit the Great Lakes. The actual toll was probably higher, but no single agency in 1913 kept track of vessels lost or sailors killed. According to this author, the death toll did not include "the commercial fishermen, hunters, or anglers who also lost their lives."
At least three books have been written about this storm, including "Fresh Water Fury" (1960), "Ships Gone Missing" (1992), and this book by David G. Brown, published in 2002. One of the things that sets Brown's book apart from the others is his meticulous meteorological reconstruction of the 1913 storm that raged for four days in early November and sank ships on Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron (the worst hit) and Erie.
According to the author's research, the weather in early November 1913 was remarkably dry and balmy, tempting the shipping companies into making one last run before the end of the season. The U.S. Weather Bureau issued storm warnings on November 7, 8, and 9 but these did not come close to suggesting the true ferocity of the 'White Hurricane.' In fact the Weather Bureau never did post hurricane warnings--two red flags with black centers, displayed one above the other--on the Great Lakes, preferring to reserve that warning for tropical storms even though the four-day storm that struck the Lakes was of hurricane intensity.
This book is organized as a temporal narrative of the storm, starting on Wednesday, November 5 as freighters such as the 'Charles S. Price' took on loads of coal, railroad ties, and iron ore for their last trips of the season. The 'Price's' Assistant Engineer Milton Smith had such a strong premonition about the forthcoming voyage that he quit his job and went home. He would later be asked to identify the bodies of his shipmates that washed up on Huron's icy shores.
On November 6, ships on western Lake Superior were already experiencing rough weather, but nothing that qualified as a full-fledged November gale--not yet. In Detroit, a prominent halo ringed the moon, perhaps bringing to mind the rhyme: "When halos ring the moon or sun/ Rain is coming on the run." In the case of this particular storm, it was a warning of the ferocious blizzard that would paralyze Cleveland and other cities on the Lakes, and add to the woes of the ships that were already battling life-threatening gales.
The empty wooden bulk freighter 'Louisania' was the first casualty of the storm. On Saturday, November 8, the onrushing gale stranded her near Port des Mortes on Lake Michigan, where she burned to the waterline. Up on Lake Superior, the storm "began picking apart the 'L.C. Waldo' shortly after midnight near the Keweenaw Peninsula." Her sailors were some of the lucky few to be picked up from their stranded, ice-bound freighter, but they would have to wait until Monday, November 10 to be rescued.
Brown's narrative of the height of the storm is truly frightening and he can only speculate on the fates of the ships that disappeared far from land. Of the seventeen ships known to be in lower Lake Huron on Sunday, November 9, only two survived and they sustained serious damage.
This book also provides an extended aftermath, appendices, bibliography, and index.
If you'd like to read more about the 'Big Blow' of 1913, I highly recommend Dwight Boyer's "True Tales of the Great Lakes," William Ratigan's "Great Lakes Shipwrecks and Survivals," and the above-mentioned "Ships Gone Missing" by Robert J. Hemming.

Best explanation of weather at sea around.......2005-09-12
The date on this book - over twenty years ago - on a technical subject immediately suggests that it probably is dated and has been superseded by better books. I took a chance and bought it anyway. It still is in print from the Naval Institute Press and that Press didn't seem to have anything comparable in print. Am I ever glad that I did. There are many books on understanding weather at sea but none as informative as this one.
The discussions of clouds, low and high pressure systems, convection, wind shear, and even hurricanes are as thorough as you will find. Pressure differences and Coriolis force - force due to the earth's spinning on its axis - are fundamental building blocks for the book's explanation of weather.
If you want to understand the weather and will be using that knowledge at sea, this is a great book. This book provides explanations of why weather develops, why the trade winds blow the way that they do and what to look for in weather developments.
For example, Kotsch explains why daily showers happen over land during the day in areas such as Atlanta and why similar showers happen at night in areas such as the Virgin Islands. While not exactly earth shattering, I had noticed this big difference and wondered why it was different. Kotsch explains why you can use ocean swells to see where low pressure systems are, why wind direction changes over the course of the year in low-latitude areas such as the Virgin Islands and much more.
The book was written as a textbook for use at the Naval Academy. You might be concerned that the book presupposes that the reader knows physics, but it does not. I unfortunately have forgotten the physics that I learned in high school, so I would have noticed if Kotsch took a lot of physics for granted.
A major hole that I noticed because of the book's age is the discussion of how information about weather is acquired. Satellites are of course more important than in the 1980s and the system of bouys used to track the weather is much more extensive than in the 1980s. These deficiencies are not in terms of the understanding of weather though and are not a large part of the book.
Perhaps the major deficiency for understanding the weather is the tentative discussion of hurricanes - they are much better understood now. No doubt a meteorologist could find more deficiencies, but I have not noticed errors that affect my practical understanding of the weather.
As you can tell, I recommend this book very highly. It may not be the book for you though. If you are looking for rules of thumb to memorize about the weather, you will not like this book. Also, if you are looking for a simple overview, this is not the book for you. An overview of the basics that was informative for me was Weather at Sea by David Houghton.
A Mariner Must!.......2001-03-20
This book breaks down the basics of marine weather for any novice sailor and brings the deep details in for the seasoned seaman. A nautical must.

Numerical Modeling of Ocean Circulation
ASIN: 1860941141 |
Book Description
Being caught out in a gale is every sailor's nightmare. Doubts and fears are hard to banish as the boat is battered by wind and waves.
¥ Will the helmsman cope with the huge waves piling up behind? ¥ Can the rigging take the strain? ¥ Is there still plenty of room to leeward? ¥ Should you weather the storm or run for shelter?
To cope with extreme weather conditions sailors need to be able to recognize well in advance the approach of a deep low-pressure system, to prepare for safe navigation during the passage of a storm, and then be able to handle the boat safely while the storm rages. This book, packed with practical advice and information, will help readers cope with all these aspects.

How to Cope With Storms is direct and to the point........2001-10-21
We use this book for the Ocean Sailing Class that we teach (soundsailingcenter.com). The book is straighforward, authoritative, and to the point. Covers a lot of material. Very good value. Some of the descriptions about the difficulty in dealing with heavy weather are so direct in a German sort of a way, that they are funny (I was reading the book initially while sailing upwind in 40-50 knots in our J44. The pounding was intense. The author writes something to the effect that 'in heavy weather, when sailing upwind in a modern, well built boat, it will seem that the boat will break apart from the pounding, but it will not'. We had a good laugh about that section, since it was exactly what we were thinking.
Book Description
“Nature, rightly questioned, never lies.” —A Manual of Scientific Enquiry, Third Edition, 1859
Scott Huler was working as a copy editor for a small publisher when he stumbled across the Beaufort Wind Scale in his Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary. It was one of those moments of discovery that writers live for. Written centuries ago, its 110 words launched Huler on a remarkable journey over land and sea into a fascinating world of explorers, mariners, scientists, and writers. After falling in love with what he decided was “the best, clearest, and most vigorous piece of descriptive writing I had ever seen,” Huler went in search of Admiral Francis Beaufort himself: hydrographer
to the British Admiralty, man of science, and author—Huler assumed—of the Beaufort Wind Scale. But what Huler discovered is that the scale that carries Beaufort’s name has a long and complex evolution, and to properly understand it he had to keep reaching farther back in history, into the lives and works of figures from Daniel Defoe and Charles Darwin to Captains Bligh, of the Bounty, and Cook, of the Endeavor.
As hydrographer to the British Admiralty it was Beaufort’s job to track the information that ships relied on: where to lay anchor, descriptions of ports, information about fortification, religion, and trade. But what came to fascinate Huler most about Beaufort was his obsession for observing things and communicating to others what the world looked like.
Huler’s research landed him in one of the most fascinating and rich periods of history, because all around the world in the mid-eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, in a grand, expansive period, modern science was being invented every day. These scientific advancements encompassed not only vast leaps in understanding but also how scientific innovation was expressed and even organized, including such enduring developments as the scale Anders Celsius created to simplify how Gabriel Fahrenheit measured temperature; the French-designed metric system; and the Gregorian calendar adopted by France and Great Britain. To Huler, Beaufort came to embody that passion for scientific observation and categorization; indeed Beaufort became the great scientific networker of his time. It was he, for example, who was tapped to lead the search for a naturalist in the 1830s to accompany the crew of the Beagle; he recommended a young naturalist named Charles Darwin.
Defining the Wind is a wonderfully readable, often humorous, and always rich story that is ultimately about how we observe the forces of nature and the world around us.
Customer Reviews:
Some letdowns true, but still pleasurable.......2007-09-22
The first seven reviews cover both the pleasures and problems with this book. For me, the major disappointment was in the almost cavalier way that the author dispenses with the actual writer of the 110 words of descriptions that inspired his research into Beaufort and everyone/everything associated with that amazing character. After over 200 pages of so much detail and background, all we are told about the 'North Shields observer' takes up less than 4 pages. I for one would have loved to have seen more examples of this person's writing style! It is a mystery to me why neither the author nor his agents would have thought a more complete description of the community, buildings and people involved would have been a natural 'fit' with the rest of the story.
The author salvaged (for me at least) a fourth star with his closing chapter on the 'Beaufort moment'; the act of true interaction and awareness of the world around us instead of relying on pure data alone. His observation that technology alone will never take the place of personal observation and involvement is something to remember and cherish, and ALMOST makes me forgive his skating over the true writer of the scale's poetic text.
An enjoyable read, a wonderful book to dip into and savor, worth discovering for all the 'degrees of separation' that connect Beaufort with other prominent names from that time in history.
A breezy read.......2007-09-15
As a child, I owned a book about storms. I don't recall much of the specifics, but I do remember a table categorizing the different wind forces. Though I didn't really think much of it at the time, this was the Beaufort Scale, which creates 13 categories for wind, from 0 - Calm to 12 - Hurricane. Each force is defined by not only a wind speed but also a description; for example, Calm is described as "calm; smoke rises vertically." For Scott Huler, the Beaufort Scale is the best piece of descriptive writing ever, a blend of science and poetry; his adoration of the Scale resulted in Defining the Wind.
Defining the Wind is an ode to and a history of the Beaufort Scale. Of course, one of the principal parts of this history would be Beaufort himself, and Huler's biography of this British admiral is one component of the book. Francis Beaufort did a lot of wonderful hydrographic and cartographic work for the British navy in the first part of the nineteenth century. His role in developing the Beaufort Scale, however, was only partial.
Huler gives us the history of the Scale. Beaufort was not the first to develop such a scale, but he did implement the zero-to-twelve system and came up with descriptions that focused more on the sea than the land. The actual wording of the modern Beaufort Scale - which can be found in most full-sized dictionaries - was created a half-century after Beaufort's death. Even the attachment of his name to the Scale was done after he died, so it isn't like he really tried to steal the idea for his own glory; he merely improved on existing scales for the benefit of the Navy (and science).
The big lesson in the book is the importance of description in scales. Most people like to break things down into an organized fashion. We love lists - the top ten songs or the top 100 movies - and we enjoy scales. Even the Amazon reviewing system employs a scale - from one to five stars - and we often use the scale to make judgments about what to buy (or see or eat). But the Amazon scale is truly subjective: what three stars means varies from person to person.
What the Beaufort scale does is not only provide a quantitative value for a certain type of wind (for example, a gentle breeze is 8-12 miles per hour), but also a qualitative one ("leaves and small twigs in constant motion; wind extends a light flag"). The difference between a gentle and light breeze is not only no longer subjective, it can also be seen by those who don't have an anemometer. It's as if a four-star Amazon review was defined as "a book of 500+ pages with at least seven characters and twenty chapters"; that might be a silly definition in the case of a book review, but at least people would know exactly what they were getting (of course, in that case, no "average" rating would be required).
Although Defining the Wind does ramble a bit in places, overall Huler has done an excellent job in making a subject interesting that most people don't even really think about. If you like reading about weather-related topics (or have a scientific or historical bent), this can be a fun book to read.
A delightful book - recommended for all ages.......2007-05-20
A wonderful personal odyssey by a reporter curious about the origins of a metereologic scale and its poetic expression. Takes us through history - into the life of Francis Beaufort, a man obsessed with recording his observations of the world around him in exquisite detail, to others who influenced him and who he influenced (including passing mention of Charles Darwin). This is not just about the wind but about natural science and its history, how we observe and express ourselves, and the joy of learning and discovery. I'd recommend it for all ages.
Enjoyable, sometimes underestimates his audience.......2005-05-21
This book has a little something for everybody - for historians, it has a little science; for scientists a little history, for the rest of us an amusing story of the fun of losing oneself in research. I enjoyed learning some history not just of Beaufort, but of the time in which he lived, particularly of the state of science at that time. Plus, even as a land lubber I found the sailing info interesting.
Huler seemed a bit breathless about his personal discovery of how important it is to keenly observe one's world. This, coupled with his occasional inaccurate use of terms like "fission," betrays that the author is an arts guy not a sciences guy. (Although unlike our president, I would bet that Huler does know the difference between "nukuler" energy and "nuclear" energy.) The inaccuracies would be less grating if Huler realized that carefully observing one's world is quite a natural activity for the science-oriented segment of his reading audience, and probably for a big chunk of the rest of his readers.
Short of the proselytizing about this observing stuff, I found the book informative, and it threw some perspective on the evolution of thought during the 18th and 19th centuries. Overall, an enjoyable read if you just let the overdone parts breeze by.
I just can't give it 5 stars.......2005-01-13
For an author who repeatedly touches on his admiration of the beauty of the writing Admiral Beaufort brought to the wind scale, the writing style of "Defining the Wind" falls short for me. It seems the author couldn't quite decide if the book was an academic text or a popular history volume and the inconsistency grated on me. Especially the use of pop culture references feels gratuitous (e.g. use of "white Ford Bronco" for a simile for a slow moving sailing ship) and makes a book that could be readable for years seem dated almost out of the wrapper. The book also seems very repetitive. The same source text is referenced often in chapters that seemingly are about a new topic. I think the book was worth reading, I just found the author and the writing style came to the forefront much too often as I read instead of the content and Admiral Beaufort himself.
