Reviews
From the reviews:
"Micrometeorology is the English translation of … original German text, and it builds on Foken’s 30 years of experience in experimental micrometeorology. … The book is geared for postgraduate scientists and practicing experts in meteorology, surface climatology, air pollution, and other environment applications. … If you … need to understand the turbulent surface layer, you will want to get this book. … This is an excellent handbook and reference for experimental micrometeorology in the atmospheric surface layer." (Roland Stull, EOS, Vol. 90 (1), January, 2009)
