Beschreibung
This is an unfinished book that collects the work led by Dr. Millán Millán Muñoz from the late 60s to 2022. It is a detective story on how meteorology has been applied to air pollution and the hydrological cycle. Within the framework of European Directives, it links new instrumental techniques used in large measurement campaigns identifying air pollution dynamics in the US, Canada, Australia and Europe to the documentation of atmospheric processes considered anomalous, or incommodious. In parallel, it documents how data analysis and interpretation methods evolve, and reveal the importance of meso-meteorology and orography in pollutant dispersion, focusing on the key role of the European Continental-Water Divide (EC_WD) affecting precipitation regimes and the hydrological cycle through feedback systems. It questions how interdisciplinary research can be applied into practical operational procedures, while illustrating resistance and opposition from both the scientific communities and governmental bodies. It is applicable both to reliable forecasting of major hydro-meteorological events in Southern Europe, and to the need for recovering the forest-soil-precipitation system to “cultivate summer storms.”
