Fundamentals of Boundary-Layer Meteorology

Fundamentals of Boundary-Layer Meteorology by Xuhui Lee.

This textbook introduces a set of fundamental equations that govern the conservation of mass (dry air, water vapor, trace gas), momentum and energy in the lower atmosphere. Simplifications of each of these equations are made in the context of boundary-layer processes. Extended from these equations t...
