Boundary layer meteorology is the study of the physical processes that
take place in the layer of air that is most influenced by the earth's
underlying surface. This text/reference gives an uncomplicated view of
the structure of the boundary layer, the instruments available for
measuring its mean and turbulent properties, how best to make the
measurements, and ways to process and analyze the data. The main
applications of the book are in atmospheric modelling, wind
engineering, air pollution, and agricultural meteorology. The authors
have pioneered research on atmospheric turbulence and flow, and are
noted for their contributions to the study of the boundary layer. This
important work will interest atmospheric scientists, meteorologists,
and students and faculty in these fields.
