This book is organized into five sections. Starting with the basic knowledge of the mete- orological dements， temperature， pressure， humidity， wind， cloud， visibility and weather phenomena arebriefed. An emphasis on Buys - Ballot Law explains the formation of the wind and the relationship be-tween the wind and air pressure field. Then weather systems often encountered at sea， such as fronts， cy-clones and anticyclones， are covered. Tropical cyclones produce the most severe weather so we have muchdiscussion on the topic. The following section is the summary of the ocean climatology. The fourth sectionis the introduction of ocean current， waves， and sea ice.
