This book is filled with didactic elements such as exercises,
charts and case study examples. It introduces a set of fundamental
equations that govern the conservation of mass (dry air, water
vapor, trace gases), momentum and energy in the lower atmosphere.
It offers students an up-to-date literature overview and introduces
theory to a field that is mostly empirical in nature. Dedicated to
undergraduate or graduate students in atmospheric sciences and
meteorology, this textbook compels students about the importance of
the subject and its application. Simplifications of each of
the equations are made in the context of boundary-layer processes.
Extended from these equations the author then discusses a set of
issues fundamental to boundary layer meteorology, including (1)
turbulence generation and destruction, (2) force balance in various
portions of the lower atmosphere, (3) canopy flow, (4) tracer
diffusion and footprint theory, (5) principles of flux measurement
and interpretation, (6) models for land evaporation, (7) models for
surface temperature response to land use change, and (8) boundary
layer budget calculations for heat, water vapor and carbon dioxide.
This second edition is enhanced with new materials on the marine
boundary layer and on three contemporary topics: the urban
boundary layer, the polluted boundary layer and the cloudy boundary
layer in a changing climate. Problem sets are supplied at the
end of each chapter to reinforce the concepts and theory presented
in the main text. This volume offers the accumulation of insights
gained by the author during his academic career as a researcher and
teacher in the field of boundary-layer meteorology
