Table of ContentsReviewsAdvance praise: 'A masterful overview of a fundamental topic in climatology, by two leaders in the field who provide clear explanations and an up-to-date summary of the literature. Essential reading for anybody interested in climate science.' Raymond Bradley, Director, Climate System Research Center, University of Massachusetts, Amherst Advance praise: '... a must-have for all climate scientists, not just those working in the boundary layer or on processes at the second and meter scales ... The range of topics presented is encyclopedic, and includes in-depth discussion of urban climates, bio-climatology, agro-climatology, remote sensing approaches, and many others. Barry and Blanken have done an astounding job of knitting these many disparate yet related topics into a coherent and well-organized discussion that spans all of Earth's latitude zones and surface environments ... this ambitious book fully delivers: it is a masterpiece of knowledge, experience, insights, and data on observed climate features and modeled climate processes occurring on all scales ... For many years to come, this will be a crucial reference and textbook for climate scientists in meteorology, geography, biology and ecology, landscape and urban design, agriculture, remote sensing, and many other disciplines.' Andrew M. Carleton, Pennsylvania State University Advance praise: 'There are relatively few textbooks written on this topic, making this book a very welcome addition to the existing literature. ... this textbook brings the study of microclimate up to date ... it does an excellent job of linking the microclimate to the larger scale climate within which it exists.' Marilyn N. Raphael, University of California, Los Angeles Advance praise: 'The authors' succeed commendably in their stated goal to quantitatively integrate processes acting on the small-scale (microclimate) with those operating at the larger scale (macroclimate). ... There is much to learn from this book. ... This volume will serve well as both a senior-level textbook and as an up-to-date reference for the knowledgeable reader.'
