Description for The Atmospheric Boundary Layer
Paperback. The book is a moderately advanced text dealing with the physics and dynamics of the atmospheric boundary layer. Series Editor(s): Dessler, Alexander J.; Houghton, John T.; Rycroft, Michael J. Series: Cambridge Atmospheric and Space Science Series. Num Pages: 336 pages, 117 b/w illus. 23 tables. BIC Classification: PBWH; RBP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 231 x 191 x 19. Weight in Grams: 588.
The book gives a comprehensive and lucid account of the science of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). There is an emphasis on the application of the ABL to numerical modelling of the climate. The book comprises nine chapters, several appendices (data tables, information sources, physical constants) and an extensive reference list. Chapter 1 serves as an introduction, with chapters 2 and 3 dealing with the development of mean and turbulence equations, and the many scaling laws and theories that are the cornerstone of any serious ABL treatment. Modelling of the ABL is crucially dependent for its realism on the surface ... Read more

Reviews for The Atmospheric Boundary Layer
'An excellent review of the current state of affairs on boundary-layer meteorology research.' Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society. 'I find that it compares favourably to good texts that have appeared recently; I strongly recommend it as a synthesis of present thinking on physical processes in the atmospheric boundary layer.'
