The effects of meteorological phenomena upon forest produc tivity
and forestry operations have been of concern for many years. With
the evolution of system-level studies of forest eco system
structure and function in the International Biological Program and
elsewhere, more fundamental interactions between forest ecosystems
and the atmosphere received scientific atten tion but the emphasis
on meteorological and climatological effects on forest processes
remained. More recently, as recogni tion has developed of potential
and actual problems associated with the atmospheric transport,
dispersion, and deposition of airborne pollutants, the effects of
forest canopies upon boundary-layer meteorological phenomena has
come under scientific scrutiny. Looking to the future, with rising
atmospheric con centrations of C02 and increasing competition for
the finite fresh-water resources of the earth, interest in the role
of forests in global C02 and water balances can also be expected to
intensify. Thus, the nature of forest canopy-atmosphere interac
tions, that is to say, the meteorological phenomena occurring in
and above forest canopies, are of importance to a wide variety of
scientific and social-issues. Demands for forest meteorological
information currently exceed levels of knowledge and given the
economic constraints of science in general and environmental
sciences in particular, chances for major improvements in scien
tific support in the near future are slim. Unfortunately, studies
of environmental phenomena in and above forests are costly and
logistically difficult. Trees, the ecological dominants of forest
ecosystems, are the largest of all terrestrial organisms."
