RE: [Paddlewise] weather prediction

Acording to Amazon.com, the book "Meteorology for Mariners" is out of print.
Does anyone on the list have other meteorology books to recommend?  I used
to fly airplanes and feel like I have a pretty good understanding of the
fundamentals, but I would like to study this topic from a stricly marine
point of view.
