Weather and Climate on Planets
(Weather and Climate on Planets discusses the problems of ...)
Weather and Climate on Planets discusses the problems of the meteorology of planets. Planetary meteorology is the study of the regularities of the atmospheres and their thermal regime and dynamics, specifically the properties of the planetary surfaces and the specific features of the interactions between the atmospheres and surfaces. This book contains four chapters and begins with an overview of origin and evolution of the solar system and planetary atmospheres. The introductory chapter describes some basic characteristics of planetary atmospheres, laboratory and numerical modeling of the atmospheric circulation, and the application of remote sounding. The remaining three chapters examine the weather, climate, and other meteorological aspects of planet Venus, Mars, and Jupiter. This book will be of value to meteorologists, astronomers, researchers, and students.

Remote Sensing of Soils and Vegetation in the USSR
(The remote sensing of soils and vegetation is of interest...)
The remote sensing of soils and vegetation is of interest to all users of remotely sensed data, in fields as diverse as atmospheric physics and ecology, especially agriculturalists, geobiologists and researchers in land-use. The book draws together the recent research carried out in these areas, and in particular includes material from the Soviet Union on the applications of remote sensing data to soil vegetation, humus content and crop yields, previously unavailable to researchers in the West.
