Conceptual Boundary Layer Meteorology Summary

Conceptual Boundary Layer Meteorology: The Air Near Here by April L. Hiscox (Associate Professor of Geography, University of South Carolina, Columbia, South Carolina, USA)

Conceptual Boundary Layer Meteorology: The Air Near Here explains essential boundary layer concepts in a way that is accessible to a wide number of people studying and working in the environmental sciences. It begins with chapters designed to present the language of the boundary layer and the key concepts of mass, momentum exchanges, and the role of turbulence. The book then moves to focusing on specific environments, uses, and problems facing science with respect to the boundary layer.
