Natural hazards and anthropic activities threaten the human
environment. The gathering of field data is needed so as to
quantify the impact of such activities. To gather the necessary
data researchers nowadays use a great variety of new instruments
based on electronics. Yet, the working principles of this new
instrumentation might not be well understood by some potential
users. All operators of these new tools must gain proper insight so
as to be able to judge whether the instrument is selected
appropriately and functions adequately. This book attempts to
demonstrate some characteristics that are not easy to understand by
the uninitiated in the use of electronic instruments. The material
presented in this book was prepared with the purpose of reflecting
the technological changes that have occurred in environmental
modern instrumentation in the last few decades. The book is
intended for students of hydrology, hydraulics, oceanography,
meteorology and environmental sciences. Basic concepts of
electronics, special physics principles and signal processing are
introduced in the first chapters in order to enable the reader to
follow the topics developed in the book, without any prior
knowledge of these matters. The instruments are explained in detail
and several examples are introduced to show their measuring
limitations. Enough mathematical fundamentals are given to allow
the reader to reach a good quantitative knowledge.
