Handbook of Micrometeorology : A Guide for Surface Flux Measurement and Analysis (Atmospheric and Oceanographic Sciences Library)

The current paradigm of micrometeorology builds on two premises: (i) that scale separation exists so that the microscale phenomena can be treated more or less in isolation of phenomena occurring at larger scales, and (ii) that these phenomena are in?uenced by the surface to such an extent that "external factors" can be ignored.
