Introduction to airborne measurements of the earth atmosphere and surface / Ulrich Schumann, David W Fahey, Manfred Wendisch, Jean-Louis Brenguier -- Measurement of aircraft state and thermodynamic and dynamic variables / Jens Bange, Marco Esposito, Donald H Lenschow, Philip R A Brown, Volker Dreiling, Andreas Giez, Larry Mahrt, Szymon P Malinowski, Alfred R Rodi, Raymond A Shaw, Holger Siebert, Herman Smit, Martin Zöger -- Trace gas measurements / Jim McQuaid, Hans Schlager, Maria Dolores Andrés-Hernández, Stephen Ball, Agnès Borbon, Steve S Brown, Valery Catoire, Piero Di Carlo, Thomas G Custer, Marc von Hobe, James Hopkins, Klaus Pfeilsticker, Thomas Röckmann, Anke Roiger, Fred Stroh, Jonathan Williams, Helmut Ziereis -- Measurements of aerosol particles / Andreas Petzold, Paola Formenti, Darrel Baumgardner, Ulrich Bundke, Hugh Coe, Joachim Curtius, Paul J DeMott, Richard C Flagan, Markus Fiebig, James G Hudson, Jim McQuaid, Andreas Minikin, Gregory C Roberts, Jian Wang -- Measurements of cloud and precipitation particles / Jean-Louis Brenguier, William D Bachalo, Patrick Y Chuang, Biagio M Esposito, Jacob Fugal, Timothy Garrett, Jean-Francois Gayet, Hermann Gerber, Andy Heymsfield, Alexander Kokhanovsky, Alexei Korolev, R Paul Lawson, David C Rogers, Raymond A Shaw, Walter Strapp, Manfred Wendisch -- Aerosol and cloud particle sampling / Martina Krämer, Cynthia Twohy, Markus Hermann, Armin Afchine, Suresh Dhaniyala, Alexei Korolev -- Atmospheric radiation measurements / Manfred Wendisch, Peter Pilewskie, Birger Bohn, Anthony Bucholtz, Susanne Crewell, Chawn Harlow, Evelyn Jäkel, K Sebastian Schmidt, Rick Shetter, Jonathan Taylor, David D Turner, Martin Zöger -- Hyperspectral remote sensing / Eyal Ben-Dor, Daniel Schläpfer, Antonio J Plaza, Tim Malthus -- LIDAR and RADAR observations / Jacques Pelon, Gabor Vali, Gérard Ancellet, Gerhard Ehret, Pierre H Flamant, Samuel Haimov, Gerald Heymsfield, David Leon, James B Mead, Andrew L Pazmany, Alain Protat, Zhien Wang, Mengistu Wolde -- List of abbreviations -- Constants -- References -- Index.
Summary: This first comprehensive review of airborne measurement principles covers all atmospheric components and surface parameters. It describes the common techniques to characterize aerosol particles and cloud/precipitation elements, while also explaining radiation quantities and pertinent hyperspectral and active remote sensing measurement techniques along the way. As a result, the major principles of operation are introduced and exemplified using specific instruments, treating both classic and emerging measurement techniques. The two editors head an international community of eminent scientists.
