商品描述
This book provides a comprehensive and in-depth exploration of the physics involved in the formation of precipitation in the Earth's atmosphere. It begins by emphasizing the significance of precipitation in the Earth system and climate. Cloud physics is incorporated to provide readers with the essential physical background necessary to understand the process of hydrometeor formation within clouds. Subsequently, the intricate structure of precipitation systems is elucidated, aiding readers in comprehending the mesoscale and synoptic characteristics of precipitation organization. The book concludes with a section on precipitation observation and measurements, which examines various sensors, such as gauges, radars, satellites, and platforms. These networks enable access to global precipitation data for meteorology and climate analysis.
Designed to meet the needs of graduate and PhD students in fields such as geophysics, meteorology, climate science, hydrology, environmental sciences, water management, and geography, this book is also valuable for researchers and professionals from diverse disciplines who require a solid understanding of precipitation products for their work. Although the book requires a fundamental understanding of classical physics (including dynamics, thermodynamics, electricity, and magnetism), as well as a basic grasp of inorganic chemistry, its content remains accessible and informative for readers with diverse levels of expertise.商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書提供了對地球大氣中降水形成所涉及的物理學的全面且深入的探討。書中首先強調了降水在地球系統和氣候中的重要性。雲物理學的內容被納入，以提供讀者理解雲中水氣形成過程所需的基本物理背景。隨後，書中闡明了降水系統的複雜結構，幫助讀者理解降水組織的中尺度和天氣系統特徵。書的最後一部分探討了降水觀測和測量，檢視了各種傳感器，如雨量計、雷達、衛星和平台。這些網絡使氣象學和氣候分析能夠獲取全球降水數據。
本書旨在滿足地球物理學、氣象學、氣候科學、水文學、環境科學、水資源管理和地理學等領域的研究生和博士生的需求，對於需要對降水產品有扎實理解的研究人員和專業人士也具有價值。雖然本書需要對經典物理學（包括動力學、熱力學、電學和磁學）有基本的理解，以及對無機化學有基本的掌握，但其內容對於不同專業水平的讀者仍然是可接觸且具啟發性的。
作者簡介
Vincenzo Levizzani is retired as Director of Research at the National Research Council of Italy. He has taught cloud physics at the University of Bologna for more than 20 years. His research focuses on the structure of precipitating systems, the physics of intense storms using radar and satellites, satellite precipitation estimation, severe weather analysis, and climatology of precipitation. He has led, as chairman, several expert groups at WMO, EUMETSAT and satellite planning groups for Meteosat Third Generation and EUMETSAT Polar Satellite Second Generation. He was co-founder of the International Precipitation Working Group, an international organisation with more than 500 members. He has also led several research projects of the European Commission. His publications consist of more than 200 papers in peer reviewed literature and several books.
Christopher Kidd is a research scientist at the Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center at the University of Maryland and at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. Before moving to the US, he was a senior lecturer at the University of Birmingham in the UK where he taught applied meteorology and climatology and Earth observation. The focus of his research centres on the observation of precipitation from surface and satellite sensors, the intercomparison and validation of precipitation measurements and the development of new satellite systems for precipitation estimation. He has been a member of a number of advisory groups for EUMETSAT, ESA and NASA, has been a co-chair of the International Precipitation Working Group, is a co-lead for the Precipitation Virtual Constellation of the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites, and is a member of the National Academies Committee on Radio Frequencies. His research has been funded by NASA, NOAA, EUMETSAT, ESA, Natural Environment Research Council, and the European Commission. He has published over 100 papers, book chapters and books in internationally peer reviewed literature.
