Re-issue
Precipitation plays a very significant role in the climate system, every bit as important as
temperature, yet this is the first book that provides a comprehensive examination of the processes
involved in the growth of clouds, rain, snow and hail. The book also shows how precipitation is
measured and what these measurements tell us about its distribution around the globe.
The book begins by tracing our attempts to understand what precipitation is, starting with the
ideas of the ancient Greeks, followed, after a long period of stagnation through the Middle Ages, by
the improved insights of seventeenth-century scientists, leading to todays detailed knowledge. The
measurement of precipitation with rain gauges, radar and satellites is explained followed by what
these measurements tell researchers about global annual means, trends, variability and extremes of
precipitation. There are still very few rainfall measurements from any of the oceans, while coverage
on land is extremely patchy. The concluding chapter outlines what needs to be done to correct
;
deficits, thereby making it possible to observe future climate change with more cor
Predpřtation
will be invaluable to researchers in environmental science and climato
concerned with water resources and flood management, and those planning action as the
с
changes. It will also have an appeal to historians of science.
