LOC classification:

QC883.8 ARY

Contents:

Energy budget near the surface -- Radiation balance near the surface -- Soil temperatures and heat transfer -- Air temperature and humidity in the PBL -- Wind distribution in the PBL -- An introduction to viscous flows -- Fundamentals of turbulence -- Models and theories of turbulence -- Near-neutral boundary layers -- Thermally stratified surface layer --Evaporation from homogeneous surfaces -- Stratified atmospheric boundary layers -- Nonhomogeneous boundary layers -- Agricultural and forest micrometeorology.

Summary: This book is intended as a textbook for courses in micrometeorology for undergraduate students (juniors or seniors) in meteorology or environmental science, as well as for an introductory graduatelevel course in boundarylayer meteorology. It will also serve as a good reference for professional meteorologists, environmental scientists and engineers, particularly those interested in problems of air pollution, atmosphericbiospheric interactions, windengineering and engineering meteorology. The book outlines basic laws and concepts, before using qualitative descriptions to introduce more complex theories. This new edition is updated and expanded, as are the references. Each chapter features workedthrough problems and exercises.
