Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the energy balance of arid lands, specifically focusing on the surface energy balance in an agricultural setting. It presents a detailed account of a research project undertaken to understand and predict the requirements of irrigated lands in a warm, arid climate. The study combines instrumentation and an experimental site to investigate the energy balance of bare soil and wetted surfaces. It explores the effects of surface conditions, wind character, and time of day on evaporative flux, sensible heat, and radiative fluxes. Through this research, the book provides valuable insights into the complex interactions between the surface and the atmosphere in arid regions, helping to advance our understanding of water and energy management in these environments. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the results of a project focused on investigating the current practice of slash burning in relation to air pollution. The hypothesis tested was that incomplete combustion and, consequently, greater emissions result from low-temperature fires. Low fire temperatures are usually associated with broadcast burns. Conversely, piled slash, with higher available fuel loading and arranged so that oxygen was not limiting, could be expected to burn more completely and at higher temperatures, producing less pollution. The results of the field tests were to be compared with laboratory burns, with respect to burning characteristics and gaseous and particulate emissions, to determine whether the salient features of a field test can be modeled. The author concludes that slash disposal and minimum pollution may be achieved by a hot fire of sufficient duration to consume the fine fuels under favorable conditions for atmospheric dispersion. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book meticulously computes hourly direct solar radiation on any slope, aspect, and latitude from 0 to 60 degrees north between December 22 and June 22, providing detailed isograms of these calculations. The author explores the effects of different slope gradients, orientations, latitudes, and atmospheric transmission coefficients on solar radiation, offering valuable insights into the design of solar energy systems and the use of sloped surfaces for capturing sunlight. This comprehensive analysis deepens our understanding of the variables that influence solar radiation, making it an indispensable resource for researchers, engineers, and anyone interested in harnessing solar energy.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The rapid increase in environmental measurements during the past few decades is associated with (1) increasing awareness of the complex relations linking biological responses to atmospheric variables, (2) development of improved data acquisition and handling equipment, (3) the application of modeling to environmental problems, and (4) the implementation of large, cooperative studies of international scope. The consequences of man's possible alteration of the environment have increased our interest in the complex nature of biological responses to meteorological variables. This has generated activity in both measurements and in the application of modeling techniques. The virtual explosion of modeling activity is also associated with the development oflarge computers. The testing of these models has demonstrated the need for more, different, and better environmental data. In addition, technological developments, such as integrated circuits, have reduced the cost, power consumption, and complexity of data acquisition systems, thus promoting more environmental measurements. The emergence of scientific cooperation on a global scale has increased measurement activities markedly.
