Terrestrial Hydrometeorology


Product Description
Both hydrologists and meteorologists need to speak a common scientific language, and this has given rise to the new scientific discipline of hydrometeorology, which deals with the transfer of water and energy across the land/atmosphere interface.Terrestrial Hydrometeorology is the first graduate-level text with sufficient breadth and depth to be used in hydrology departments to teach relevant aspects of meteorology, and in meteorological departments to teach relevant aspects of hydrology, and to serve as an introductory text to teach the emerging discipline of hydrometeorology.
The book will be essential reading for graduate students studying surface water hydrology, meteorology, and hydrometeorology. It can also be used in advanced undergraduate courses, and will be welcomed by academic and professional hydrologists and meteorologists worldwide.

</p>Terrestrial Hydrometeorology Review
The science of hydrology has advanced in the past 40 years. Models forhydrological response of a catchment is no longer based on simple
parameters and dimensionless numbers but solving the water and energy
balance equations simultaneously. Observations of hydrological
processes and variables in catchments make use of very sophisticated
instrumentation. Furthermore it has been recognized that the land
surface and atmosphere are not discrete entities but intimately
coupled.
These are the advances that Jim Shuttleworth's book, Terrestrial
Hydrometeorology intimately connects with and relates hydrology as an
integrative rather than a stand alone science. It is very well written
and is a complete presentation of the "new" hydrology. This is a must
read book for every graduate student in water resources and hydrology,
a great reference for the practicing engineer and a book every
undergraduate who wishes to enter graduate school in the area of water
resources. This is a great book and helps advance the science of
hydrology.Terrestrial Hydrometeorology
