Roger Barry (NSIDC) and Peter Blanken (Geography, University of
Colorado,Boulder) are pleased to announce their publication of
"Microclimate and Local Climate" by Cambridge University Press
ISBN 978-1-107-14562-7.
This book provides an up-to-date, comprehensive treatment of the
variables and processes of microclimate and local climate, including
radiation balance and energy balance. It describes and explains the
climate within the lower atmosphere and upper soil, the region critical
to life on Earth. Topics that are covered include not only the physical
processes that affect microclimate, but also biological processes that
affect vegetation and animals, including people. A geographic tour of
the microclimates of the major ecosystems around the world is included.
All major biomes and surface types are examined, including urban areas,
and the effects of climate change on microclimate are described. This
book is invaluable for advanced students and researchers in climatology
in departments of environmental science, geography, meteorology,
agricultural science and forestry.
