Product Description
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 graduate-level course in boundary-layer meteorology. It will also serve as a good reference for professional meteorologists, environmental scientists and engineers, particularly those interested in problems of air pollution, atmospheric-biospheric interactions, wind-engineering 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 worked-through problems and exercises.

Comment:
Since it's a recommendation from my teacher on micrometeorology course (undergraduate atmospheric sciences at my UNI) I assume it is a good source of what I'll be using on this year, from what I've looked over it had good explaning of the phisics involved, some examples and pictures that help understanding the text and is more atualized and complete than the previous edition...

Summary:
good entry level textbook

Comment:
This book was used as the textbook for a class on hydrometeorology. The explanations and sequence of the text was good for an entry level class on the subject. The book does not cover precipitation and clouds, an important part of micrometeorology, but overall I would recommend the text. More detailed descriptions of some of the physical processes are given in other texts. Extensive reference section to lead interested readers to relevant research papers.
