The atmospheric processes in man’s direct environment – in the lower 100 – 1000 metres of the atmosphere and in areas of only several kilometres extent form the core of this book. This second edition has been updated to reflect developments during recent years as well as being supplemented by the newest research results. It offers fundamental information in applied meteorology as well as for biochemistry with selected examples from these areas. Transport processes and material exchanges between the atmosphere and the earth’s surface constitute another important aspect of the book and heterogenic areas receive special emphasis. The author discusses the secondary branches of theory, metrology, experimental procedure and modelling in such a way, that they can be used separately for teaching, research and in practice.

Über Autor(innen)

Thomas Foken was born in 1949 in Zwickau, Germany. He studied meteorology in Berlin, and received his Ph.D. in 1978 in Leipzig. His research topic was marine micrometeorology. He received his second doctor’s degree in 1990 in Berlin. From 1981 to 1997 he was the Head of Laboratories of the Meteorological Service of the GDR (after 1990 the German Meteorological Service) at the Meteorological Observatories in Potsdam and Lindenberg. In 1997, Dr. Foken became Professor of Micrometeorology at the University of Bayreuth. He has taught courses on micrometeorology and geoecology in Berlin, Potsdam and Bayreuth; he has published numerous scientific papers, and also participated in national and international experiments and research projects.
