In today’s maritime world, meteorology plays a more important role in safety and planning and makes an important contribution to the economic returns of many companies. Maritime Meteorology was written by Henk Huizinga and John Brouwer. John Brouwer is Skilltrade's regular Cat B guest lecturer for the subject of meteorology. Both Henk Huizinga and John Brouwer, as (former) KNMI meteorologists, have years of experience in providing and developing educational materials in the maritime sector.  Their expertise has resulted in a clear study book intended for nautical schools, which consider it important that the study material meets the latest state of affairs in meteorology.
