Download or read book Atmospheric Water Vapor written by Adarsh Deepak and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-09-25 with total page 712 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Atmospheric Water Vapor contains the technical proceedings of the International Workshop on Atmospheric Water Vapor held in Vail, Colorado, on September 11-13, 1979. The papers assess the state-of-the-art in measurement, modeling, and application of atmospheric water vapor properties and highlight important problems that require further effort in order to better understand the atmosphere itself as well as the electromagnetic propagation through the atmosphere. Comprised of 39 chapters, this book begins with a discussion on the optics and spectroscopy of water vapor. Some actual spectra showing the problems specific to the water molecule are described, along with the method used to calculate precise vibration-rotation energy levels and wave functions. Atmospheric infrared transmission measurements in maritime locations are also presented. Subsequent sections explore microwave and millimeter wave phenomena; geoastrophysical applications; and in situ measurements, remote sensing, and meteorology of water vapor. The final chapters deal with the microphysics and atmospheric chemistry of water vapor. This monograph will be of interest to scientists from universities, government agencies, research laboratories, and industry.

This book was released on 1996-11-14 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Written by some of the world's foremost experts, the articles in this book show how plasma science can be applied to environmental problems, including atmospheric sensing and modification, energy conservation, reduction of air pollution, and processing of ordinary and radioactive wastes. Atmospheric CFC's might be zapped with big lasers. Urban air pollution could be removed by large convection towers built in or near cities. And weapons-grade plutonium can be destroyed with specially designed particle accelerators. Some of the technologies described here are in use already, while others are in the prototype stage, or are speculative approaches deserving of further study."

Download or read book Passive Infrared Detection written by J. Caniou and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Familiarization with the infrared world Thermal imaging systems extend human perception beyond the visible spectrum. Since their principle is based on the natural emission of energy by physical bodies, they represent today the subject of a great deal of interest in many fields, whether in the military field or in industry or in research laboratories. They can be employed to analyse physical properties of objects, such as their energy level or their surface appearance; they are also commonly used to observe scenes in particular conditions like night vision, or in order to increase the visibility range through haze and fogs. All of these applications exploit the properties of infrared radiation whose characteristics are described in this book. This is achieved in a manner which differs from other publications on the same subject in that the book is governed by the intention to progressively lead the reader to a complete understanding of the infrared. The author intends to link physical theory to each specific aspect of the elements involved in the detection process, from their physical origin up to energy mapping in a two-dimensional picture. However we thought that it was unnecessary to demonstrate again that which the reader will easily find in scientific literature, nor to write another data book. Our aim is to fill the gap between theory and practical application. The subject is vast: infrared systems combines a wide variety of disciplines and image interpretation depends on the precise understanding of various phenomena.
Download or read book Wireless Optical Communications written by Olivier Bouchet and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-02-04 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wireless optical communication refers to communication based on the unguided propagation of optical waves. The past 30 years have seen significant improvements in this technique – a wireless communication solution for the current millennium – that offers an alternative to radio systems; a technique that could gain attractiveness due to recent concerns regarding the potential effects of radiofrequency waves on human health. The aim of this book is to look at the free space optics that are already used for the exchange of current information; its many benefits, such as incorporating channel properties, propagation models, link budgets, data processing including coding, modulation, standards and concerns around health and safety (IEC 60825 or FCC - Class 1 for example), etc. will become indispensable over the next decade in addressing computer architectures for short-, medium- and long-range telecommunications as we move from gigabytes to terabytes per second. Wireless Optical Communications is an excellent tool for any engineer wanting to learn about wireless optical communications or involved in the implementation of real complete systems. Students will find a wide range of information and useful concepts such as those relating to propagation, optics and photometry, as well the necessary information on safety. Contents 1. Light. 2.

Mr. Bodh Ram Chaohan and published by Shashwat Publication. This book was released on 2024-07-13 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title of the book “Environment and Sustainable Development: Perspectives and Issues” itself represents that the book is having topics related to current environmental problems and its possible solutions. This edition of book focuses on the issues related to sustainable use and management of natural resources and e-waste management. Several methods to handle a wide spectrum of environmental issues are taken into account in numerous chapters. Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century. Climate is changing across our planet, largely, as a result of human activities. Some of the book chapters also provide a holistic coverage of the climate change policies and role of India. Climate change and various infectious diseases, proposes a comprehensive set of solutions to resolve various issues related to environment. The impacts of climate change are becoming increasingly severe, natural resources are being depleted at an alarming rate, and the gap between the rich and poor is widening. The need for sustainable development has never been more pressing than present. Therefore, this book makes a valuable contribution to the ongoing conversation, challenges and opportunities around many critical issues. The chapter in the book explore a wide range of topics related to sustainability, including the role of renewable energy, the need for sustainable agriculture, the importance of community engagement, and the impact of climate change. The authors come from diverse academic and professional backgrounds, and they are expert at their disciplines. The authors come from diverse academic and professional background, and their insight provide a valuable contribution to the ongoing conservation around environmental protection and sustainable development. The editors of this book are to be commended for bringing together such a diverse group of contributors, and for presenting a balanced and nuanced exploration of these complex issues.
