Abstract:Chinese translation of the book 《Weather Analysis and Forecasting, Applying Satellite Water Vapor Imagery and Potential Vorticity Analysis》 writte n by Santurette and Georgiev is introduced. Santurette and Georgiev bring satellite water vapor imagery and numerical model products together in a logical way. The close relationship between satellite water vapor imagery and potentia l vorticity fields shown by their book helps not only on the interpretation of satellit e imagery, but also on the potential improvement of numerical model performance . This introduction paper analyzed the structure of the book and is favorable fo r Chinese forecasters to understand the book.
