Physics of Environment and Climate

This book explains energy, water and mass exchanges both above and in the soil, including the interaction of plants. It features mechanisms affecting climate change from local to global scales using climatic data, statistical analysis for the determination of climatic risks and instrumental measurement aspects of climatic factors. Explains how to measure climatic factors and how to use them for solving practical problems in agroclimatology. -- Gives land management planning information based on an agrometeorology point of view.
