Climate, meteorology and phenomenology
This commented bibliography aims to gather various texts related to our sensitive perception of weather and climate, that is our report of space and time lived through climatic or meteorological phenomena. Ideally, such a bilbiography should be supplemented by another one more focused on anthropological readings of our relationship to climate and weather.
