Cover der Publikation Airborne Measurements for Environmental Research Methods and Instruments. Cover: Wiley-VCH

Authors: Manfred Wendisch, Jean-Louis Brenguier

Publisher: Wiley-VCH 

Content: 

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, all of them accepted and experienced specialists in their field, who help readers to understand specific problems related to airborne research, such as immanent uncertainties and limitations. They also provide guidance on the suitability of instruments to measure certain parameters and to select the correct type of device. While primarily intended for climate, geophysical and atmospheric researchers, its relevance to solar system objects makes this work equally appealing to astronomers studying atmospheres of solar system bodies with telescopes and space probes.

Cover der Publikation Theory of Atmospheric Radiation Transfer. Cover: Wiley-VCH

Authors: Manfred Wendisch, Ping Yang

Publisher: Wiley-VCH

Content:

Aimed at the senior undergraduate and graduate level, this textbook fills the gap between general introductory texts offering little detail and very technical, advanced books written for mathematicians and theorists rather than experimentalists in the field.
The result is a concise course in atmospheric radiative processes, tailored for one semester. The authors are accomplished researchers who know how to reach their intended audience and provide here the content needed to understand climate warming and remote sensing for pollution measurement. They also include supplementary reading for planet scientists and problems.
Equally suitable reading for geophysicists, physical chemists, astronomers, environmental chemists and spectroscopists. (Quelle: Wiley-VCH)

Role of Clouds and Atmospheric Radiation

Sitzungsberichte der Sächsischen Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Leipzig. Mathematisch-naturwissenschaftliche Klasse
Band 132, Heft 3

Authors: Manfred Wendisch, Ping Yang, André Ehrlich

Publisher: S. Hirzel Verlag

Content:

The phenomenon of Arctic amplification originally comprises an enhanced variability and amplified increase of the near-surface air temperature in the Arctic in comparison to the average-near surface warming at lower latitudes.

It also implies other serious Arctic climate changes, such as the dramatic summer melting of Arctic sea and the Greenland ice sheet, and the decrease of snow cover and surface albedo of the Greenland ice sheet. Numerous reasons for the Arctic climate change are discussed here. (Source: S. Hirzel Verlag)

Cover Geophysics and Meteorology at the University of Leipzig. Cover: Universitäts-Verlag

On the Occasion of the 100th Anniversary of the Foundation of the Geophysical Institute in 1913

Autoren: Werner Ehrmann und Manfred Wendisch (Herausgeber)

Verlag: Universitäts_Verlag

Inhalt: 

The early years of the 20th century saw a rapid and vigorous development of the natural sciences and technology in Germany, and the University of Leipzig was involved in this fast moving evolution.
The Geophysical Institute was established on January 1, 1913. At that time geophysics and meteorology were considered subsections of physics and geosciences. They were divided into Physics of the Solid Earth (Geophysics), Physics of the Atmosphere (Meteorology), and Physics of the Hydrosphere (Oceanography). The goal of the new Geophysical Institute was the joint treatment of all three scientific branches.
This volume outlines the important stages in the history of geophysics and meteorology at the University of Leipzig from the Geophysical Institute in 1913 to the Institute of Geophysics and Geology and the Institute for Meteorology in 2013. (Quelle: Universitäts-Verlag)
