Description for Monitoring Atmospheric Water Vapour: Ground-Based Remote Sensing and In-situ Methods
paperback. This book assesses all current techniques used in networks for monitoring atmospheric water vapour. Special weight is given to different technical concepts, assessing the accuracy of different sensor types, addressing calibration issues and retrieval issues. Editor(s): Kampfer, Niklaus. Series: ISSI Scientific Report Series. Num Pages: 336 pages, 27 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: RBK; RBP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 18. Weight in Grams: 516.
Atmospheric water plays a key role in climate. Water vapour is the most important greenhouse gas and its condensed forms exert a profound influence on both incoming solar and outgoing infrared radiation. Unfortunately, accurate, height-resolved global-scale measurements of atmospheric humidity are difficult to obtain. The change in concentration of five orders of magnitude form the ground to the stratosphere means there is no standard instrument that will measure everywhere. This has led to different measuring techniques, all with strengths and weaknesses.
This book assesses all presently available techniques that are used in monitoring networks. Special weight is given ... Read more

About Niklaus . Ed(S): Kampfer
Niklaus Kämpfer studied Physics and Astronomy at the University of Bern. He got his graduate degree in Physics in 1979 and Ph.D. in 1983 for the Analysis and Interpretation of Solar Flares. Thereafter he changed his field of interest and pursued research in microwave radiometry of the atmosphere where he was involved int he development of the Millimeter Wave Atmospheric ... Read more
