Hiscox, April L.
McCombs, Alexandria G.
Boundary Layer Meteorology explains essential boundary layer concepts in a way that is accessible to a wide number of people studying and working in the Environmental Sciences. It begins with chapters designed to present the language of the boundary layer and the key concepts of mass, momentum exchanges and the role of turbulence. It then moves to focusing on specific environments, uses and problems facing science with respect to the Boundary Layer. Uses authentic examples to give readers the ability to utilize real world dataThoroughly covers Boundary Layer Meteorology without requiring knowledge of advanced mathematicsProvides a set of tools that can be used by the reader to better understand land air interactionsProvides specific applications to a wide spectrum of environmental systems INDICE: 1.
