Coulson K.L. Solar and terrestrial radiation

New York, London: Academic Press, 1975. — 325 pp.The major emphasis in the book is on radiation instrumentation. I have tried to include enough underlying theory to make the book useful in understanding the basic radiative processes in the atmosphere and a sufficient number of historical notes to indicate the rich traditions in science to which the radiation meteorologist is beneficiary. The level of the discussions is designed for the upper division or beginning graduate college student and the professional meteorologist.Principles of Radiation Instruments.
