Overview
Current concern about the stability of our climatic system in light of the influx of manmade components makes the topic of this book, theoretical modeling of a microclimate, of supreme importance. Beyond an explanation of the theory of various air-lake interactions, the author provides instructions for convenient numerical parametrizations. Five major subjects are covered: (1) the atmospheric planetary boundary layer (PBL), (2) energy transfer at the air-water interface, (3) wind-induced drift of surface films, (4) thermal regime and mixing conditions in lakes, and (5) the thermal bar. The author, S.S. Zilitinkevich, is a well-respected Soviet scientist, very much in demand as a guest at western meteorological institutes. This is his first book in English. Modeling Air-Lake Interaction is intended for students and researchers in climatology and its subdisciplines.Book Details
