Radar for meteorologists (4th Ed.)

Langue : Anglais

Auteur :

In the last decade there has been a need in the meteorological community for an introductory text that describes what weather radars do, how they work in a basic theoretical sense, and how to interpret and apply the data for operational benefit. Rinehart's well-written book fills this need. Rinehart's book is aimed at two groups: the frontline [operational] meteorologists, and undergraduate students of meteorology who need to understand and be able to interpret this same data. The group of researchers who regularly operate and use meteorological radars, however, will also benefit from an examination of Rinehart's book. The scientist, engineer, or manager of such radars typically has a deep understanding of several areas, but not a full overview of the radar system and the science it addresses. The author has performed a real service to the flourishing radar meteorology operational community as well as the academic and research communities by writing this informative, entertaining, clear, and relatively complete overview of meteorological radars.
