Atmospheric radar : application and science of MST radars in the Earth's mesosphere, stratosphere, troposphere, and weakly ionized regions

Richly illustrated, and including both an extensive bibliography and index, this indispensable guide brings together the theory, design, and applications of atmospheric radar. It explains the basic thermodynamics and dynamics of the troposphere, stratosphere, and mesosphere, and discusses the physic...
