<p><strong>`A fine text for students wishing to understand the physical processes ocurring near the earth's surface while avoiding the more mathematical approach adopted by many specialized micrometeorological texts.'</strong> - <em>Royal Meteorological Society</em><br /><br /><strong>`Text and diagrams are a model of clarity, logicality and precision, sensitively designed to appeal toall those seeking a basic but comprehensive and scrupulously scientific understanding of the processes in the lower kilometre or so of the atmosphere.'</strong> - <em>World Meteorological Organisation</em></p>

This modern climatology textbook explains those climates formed near the ground in terms of the cycling of energy and mass through systems.
Offers a concise description of atmospheric layers sensitively pitched for the non-meteorological specialist in a variety of disciplines: in geography, agriculture, forestry, ecology, engineering, environment and planning.
