This book describes the fundamental scientific principles
underlying high quality instrumentation used for environmental
measurements. It discusses a wide range of in situ sensors employed
in practical environmental monitoring and, in particular, those
used in surface based measurement systems. It also considers the
use of weather balloons to provide a wealth of upper atmosphere
data. To illustrate the technologies in use it includes many
examples of real atmospheric measurements in typical and unusual
circumstances, with a discussion of the electronic signal
conditioning, data acquisition considerations and data
processing principles necessary for reliable measurements. This
also allows the long history of atmospheric measurements to be
placed in the context of the requirements of modern climate
science, by building the physical science appreciation of the
instrumental record and looking forward to new and emerging sensor
and recording technologies.
