Obtain a graduate-level atmospheric science textbook.
Place it in an outdoor location that is fully exposed to the elements.
Do not touch it for one year.
Let the wind read and tear through its pages.
Let snow pile on top of it and melt through it.
Let it bleach in the sun.
After a year has passed, bring the book inside and study the lessons the atmosphere taught it.
