Description for Meteorological Measurements and Instrumentation
Hardcover. Series: Advancing Weather and Climate Science. Num Pages: 280 pages. BIC Classification: RBP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 178 x 251 x 18. Weight in Grams: 748.
This book describes the fundamental scientific principles underlying high quality instrumentation used for environmental measurements. It discusses a wide range of in situ sensors employed in practical environmental monitoring and, in particular, those used in surface based measurement systems. It also considers the use of weather balloons to provide a wealth of upper atmosphere data. To illustrate the technologies in use it includes many examples of real atmospheric measurements in typical and unusual circumstances, with a discussion of the electronic signal conditioning, data acquisition considerations and data processing principles necessary for reliable measurements. This also allows the long history of ... Read more

About Giles Harrison
Giles Harrison is Professor of Atmospheric Physics at the Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading, UK. His research focuses on one of the oldest experimental topics in meteorology, atmospheric electricity and the development of new surface and balloon-carried instruments for environmental measurements.
Reviews for Meteorological Measurements and Instrumentation
"“Thorough” is an apt description for the content of this book. A specialist book on Meteorological Measurements is long overdue, and this book is welcome. If a book was destined for sensor system designers it would need to be a thick volume, but for meteorologists needing to have a less detailed description of instruments it is ideal....all scientists/engineers need to ...
