Precipitation plays a significant role in the climate system, and
this is the first book to provide a comprehensive examination of
the processes involved in the generation of clouds, rain, snow and
hail, how precipitation is measured, how its distribution has
changed over time, and how we still need to make improvements to
the way precipitation is measured. It traces our attempts to
understand what clouds are, from ancient Greeks to the present day.
It also discusses developments in the measurement of precipitation,
from rain gauges to satellite techniques, and how these
measurements have enabled researchers to estimate global trends,
totals, variability and extremes of precipitation. This will be a
valuable and fascinating reference for academic researchers in the
fields of environmental science and climatology. It will also be of
great interest to professionals in water resource and flood
management.
