The topics are: air circulation, clouds and precipitation, air mass, frontal zone and polar front, cyclones and anticyclones, general atmospheric circulation and climate change. Furthermore, the CD-ROM includes some interactive chapters and a detailed glossary. The main menu is accessible from any application.
