The book focuses on the atmospheric processes in the human habitat. It provides the foundations particularly for biometeorology, agricultural meteorology, hydrometeorology, environmental meteorology, and technical meteorology, as well as for biogeochemistry. The author addresses theory, measurement techniques, experimental procedures, and modeling in a way that each topic stands on its own, allowing the content to be used individually in teaching, research, and practice. For the new edition, the bibliography and individual chapters have been expanded.
