Beschreibung
This book focuses on atmospheric processes which directly effect human environments within the lowest 100-1000 meters of the atmosphere over regions of only a few kilometers in extent. The book is the English translation of the second edition of the German book "Applied Meteorology – Micrometeorological Methods". It presents, with selected examples, the basics of micrometeorology applied to disciplines such as biometeorology, agrometeorology, hydrometeorology, technical meteorology, environmental meteorology, and biogeoscience. The important issues discussed in this book are the transport processes and fluxes between the atmosphere and the underlying surface. Vegetated and heterogeneous surfaces are special subjects. The author covers the areas of theory, measuring techniques, experimental methods and modeling in all the ways that can be used independently in teaching, research or practical applications.
The atmospheric processes in man’s direct environment – in the lower 100 – 1000 metres of the atmosphere and in areas of only several kilometres extent form the core of this book. This second edition has been updated to reflect developments during recent years as well as being supplemented by the newest research results. It offers fundamental information in applied meteorology as well as for biochemistry with selected examples from these areas. Transport processes and material exchanges between the atmosphere and the earth’s surface constitute another important aspect of the book and heterogenic areas receive special emphasis. The author discusses the secondary branches of theory, metrology, experimental procedure and modelling in such a way, that they can be used separately for teaching, research and in practice.
Book closes the gap between meteorology and measuring methods, includes countless examples as well as supplements supplying basics relevant to understanding of the individual topics Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

From the reviews:
"Micrometeorology is the English translation of … original German text, and it builds on Foken’s 30 years of experience in experimental micrometeorology. … The book is geared for postgraduate scientists and practicing experts in meteorology, surface climatology, air pollution, and other environment applications. … If you … need to understand the turbulent surface layer, you will want to get this book. … This is an excellent handbook and reference for experimental micrometeorology in the atmospheric surface layer." (Roland Stull, EOS, Vol. 90 (1), January, 2009)
