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.

Aerosols and Precipitation Over Africa: Progress, Challenges, and Prospects provides a clear picture of the complex interactions between aerosols and precipitation over Africa. The text begins with a close look at aerosol distribution, observational and modeling techniques, and climate models. This is followed by an examination of the effect of aerosol on precipitation and the latest advances in aerosol-precipitation studies. The editors then review regional and largescale variability. Later chapters include a climatological assessment of aerosol and precipitation properties, projected changes in precipitation and cloud patterns, and expected challenges for the future.With these interactions confounded by the large-scale dynamical systems over the continent, this book will provide a much-needed, detailed understanding of the complex connections between aerosol and precipitation over Africa. It will be a valuable resource for environmental researchers, academics, and policymakers studying the latest developments in aerosols and precipitation over Africa.

Fundamentals of Bioaerosols Science: From Physical to Biological Dimensions of Airborne Biological Particles covers both the physical and biological aspects of bioaerosol science. It is assumed that researchers with a physics background are often unfamiliar with the biological aspects (e.g., molecular biology, PCR, and DNA sequencing), and researchers with a biology background are often unfamiliar with the physical aspects (e.g., aerosol physics, air sampling, and aerodynamic diameter) of bioaerosol science. This book aims to bridge the interdisciplinary gap between the fields of bioaerosol science. Fundamentals of Bioaerosols Science include topics such as bioaerosol physical properties, sampling and monitoring methods, analytical methods, control techniques, and relationship to climate.
