Satellite Mapping of the Surface Radiation Budget

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Advances in Bioclimatology ((ADVS BIOCLIMAT.,volume 4))

Abstract

Bioclimatology is defined in the preface to Advances in Bioclimatology as “the study of the relations between the physical environment and the form and function of living organisms”. Such a definition largely confines the discipline to the proximity of the land surface, the interface between the atmospheric boundary layer, vegetation and the soil surface.
