About the Book

Ideal and Real Atmospheric Boundary Layers is based on the notion that classical books of Boundary Layer Meteorology largely focus on ideal surface conditions, while the actual real circumstances often address situations that are more complex, like over heterogeneous land and in urban and mountain areas. Ideal and Real Atmospheric Boundary Layers starts by covering the basic physical principles used in atmospheric boundary layer meteorology, including atmospheric turbulence, observing and modeling atmospheric boundary layers, and neutral, convective, and stable boundary layers over different types of land surfaces. The second part of the book describes the applications and extension of these principles for real-world circumstances. The book will be of interest to researchers and students in atmospheric science, climate science, and meteorology.

About the Author :
Prof. Mathias W. Rotach holds a PhD in Environmental Physics from The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETHZ) with a specialization in Atmospheric Physics. He is a full Professor in Dynamic Meteorology at the University of Innsbruck, Austria. His research group in Innsbruck is specialized in boundary layer dynamics and exchange processes over complex terrain, such as mountainous and urban surfaces. He has (co-)authored around 130 peer-reviewed papers on various aspects in boundary layer meteorology. Prof. Albert (Bert) A.M. Holtslag holds a PhD in Boundary Layer Meteorology from Wageningen University in the Netherlands. He is Emeritus Professor of Meteorology and former Chair at the Meteorology and Air Quality Section at Wageningen University (1999-2019). With his research group he worked on many aspects of atmospheric boundary layers over land, including air quality dispersion, urban weather and climate and land-atmosphere interactions. He has (co-)authored around 180 peer-reviewed papers on various aspects in boundary layer meteorology.
