Product Description
Review
"Undoubtedly destined to become a classic. The treatment is sensitively pitched at a level for the non-meteorological specialist in a variety of disciplines in geography, agriculture, forestry, ecology, engineering and planning."
-"World Meteorological Organization Bulletin
"This well established climatology text explains the climates formed near the ground in terms of the cycling of energy and mass through systems . . . In this second edition, Professor Oke provides a fuller description of the atmospheric layers and gives more emphasis to the whole planetary boundary layer. There are nearly 50 new figures and new material on radiation geometry, the nature of thermals and convective cloud, leaf-air exchange, evapotranspiration from crops and forests, effects of topography on air flow, and the energy balance of cities."

Format:Paperback
Boundary layer climates will be most usful to students studying the atmosphere in the context of atmospheric stability, flux, tranport and air pollution. It is particularly good at explaining the maths and physics of the processes in an easy to understand manner, with excellent use of diagrams. For students who find the maths and physics equations difficult to get their head around, I think this book will be very useful,it also helps to get an idea of the concepts behind the equations.

Met ref......
25 July 2001
Format:Paperback
I have found this book to be an extremely good reference over the years for a non-meteorologist; this coming from a biogeochemist - I have used it for years and am now buying it. Another very good reference is Stahl (of course)

Something wrong!
1 April 1999
Format:Paperback
Why don't we make this good book even better? I happened to notice that the 2nd equation of A1.2 on page 339 was wrong. Cosine value should always be between -1 and +1. In table A3.1 on page 393, SI unit for the last three columns is also problematic. I think it should be sqaure meter per second multiplied by 10 to -6. Check those out.
