Development of a tropical storm - cross section (UEB Contracted)
This page shows a tropical storm in cross section (cut through vertically and seen from the side). There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. The diagram has a dashed line image border. In the middle of the page there are arrows pointing down, and to either side of these the cross section through the clouds can be found. Going across the bottom of the page is a textured area representing the sea. The straight arrows in the middle of the page represent the flow of air down into the clear 'eye' of the storm system. To either side are textured areas of cloud. Within these textured areas, wiggly arrows show water vapour rising through the cloud from the sea. Rain is shown falling from the cloud to the sea at the bottom of the page. Three horizontal arrows, pointing right, can be found on the left of the page just above the sea. Three similar arrows, pointing left, can be found just above the sea on the right of the page. These all show airflow into the storm system.
Climate Graph - Cool, temperate maritime: Shannon, Ireland (Large Print)
This is a graph showing temperature and precipitation over the period of a year in Shannon. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. There are vertical bars indicating average monthly rainfall and a thick dashed line going across the page showing the average monthly temperature. On the left of the page is a vertical scale marked in degrees Centigrade starting from zero at the bottom. It is marked at every five degrees and labelled at every ten degrees. Running right across the page are fine horizontal grid lines. The thick dashed line representing the temperature can be found at the bottom left of the page sloping up and down to right. Across the bottom of the page are twelve labelled vertical bars showing the rainfall for each month of the year, starting with January on the left. To allow sufficient space, the braille labels are uncapitalised. At the far right of the page is a vertical scale of precipitation in millimetres, starting with zero at the bottom. This is marked every 25 mm and labelled every 50 mm.

Hurricane areas of the world (Large Print)
This is a multi-page image of Hurricane areas of the world, set on two pages. There are locator dots shown, which will be at the top left of each page when the images are the right way up. Key to hurricane areas of the world: This page shows the key to the diagram of hurricane areas of the world. On the left hand side of the page is a list of abbreviations for the continents of the world, listed in alphabetical order. In the middle of the page, running from top to bottom, is a line dividing the two parts of the key from each other. On the right hand side of the page are examples of the symbols, lines and textures (colours) used on the diagram. They are displayed in a column in alphabetical order with descriptive labels to the right.Hurricane areas of the world:This page shows a map of the world bounded by a dashed line image border. The land is shown by the textured areas of the map. On the left of the page are, North and South America, in the centre Europe, and on the right Asia and Australia. The heavy dashed line of the Equator runs horizontally across the middle of the page. The hurricanes and their directions are shown on the map as lines with arrowheads, which curve clockwise when up the page from the Equator and anti-clockwise when down the page. There are three of them just above the line of the Equator on the left of the page. On the right of the page, there are six above the Equator and six below.
