  • Weather Radar

    Principles and Advanced Applications

    Edited by Peter Meischner ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    All aspects of our lives are influenced by the weather and especially severe weather events - such considerations tend to become more pertinent as such weather events may become more frequent with global warming. It is evident that better weather forecasts for the next few hours, days or even weeks have a high economic value for our developed and densely populated world. Ground and air traffic ... Read more

  • Atmospheric Effects in Space Geodesy

    Edited by Johannes Böhm, Harald Schuh ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Various effects of the atmosphere have to be considered in space geodesy and all of them are described and treated consistently in this textbook. Two chapters are concerned with ionospheric and tropospheric path delays of microwave and optical signals used by space geodetic techniques, such as the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), or Satellite ...

  • Occultations for Probing Atmosphere and Climate

    Edited by Andrea Steiner, Ulrich Foelsche, Gottfried Kirchengast ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Use of occultation methodology for observing the Earth's atmosphere and climate has become so broad as to comprise solar, lunar, stellar, navigation and satellite crosslink occultation methods. The atmospheric parameters obtained extend from the fundamental variables temperature, density, pressure, water vapor, and ozone via a multitude of trace gas species to particulate species such as aerosols ...

  • Air Quality in Cities

    Edited by Nicolas Moussiopoulos ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Urban areas are major sources of air pollution. Pollutant emissions affecting air quality in cities are considered to have adverse consequences for human health. Public and government concern about environmental issues arising from urban air pollution has increased over the last decades. The urban air pollution problem is widespread throughout the world and it is important to find ways of ... Read more

  • An Introduction to Lightning

    by Vernon Cooray ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book about lightning summarizes the essence of physics and effects of lightning in a non-technical manner and provides an up-to-date description of the phenomenon of lightning in simple language. Starting with the myths related to lightning, the reader is introduced to the mechanism of lightning flashes and their interactions with humans, human-made systems and Earth’s environment. Most of ... Read more

  • General Theory of Light Propagation and Imaging Through the Atmosphere

    by T. Stewart McKechnie ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book lays out a new, general theory of light propagation and imaging through Earth’s turbulent atmosphere. Current theory is based on the – now widely doubted – assumption of Kolmogorov turbulence. The new theory is based on a generalized atmosphere, the turbulence characteristics of which can be established, as needed, from readily measurable properties of point-object, or star, images.The ...

  • Three Great Tsunamis: Lisbon (1755), Sumatra-Andaman (2004) and Japan (2011)

    by Vineet K. Gahalaut, Harsh K. Gupta ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Tsunamis are primarily caused by earthquakes. Under favourable geological conditions, when a large earthquake occurs below the sea bed and the resultant rupture causes a vertical displacement of the ocean bed, the entire column of water above it is displaced, causing a tsunami. In the ocean, tsunamis do not reach great heights but can travel at velocities of up to 1000 km/hour. As a tsunami ... Read more
