It is made even more challenging when it is unclear whether these measurements are only valid for this point/region and precisely describe the conditions there, or if they are also influenced by surrounding areas. After 50 years of field experiments, it has become both apparent and problematic that meteorological measurements are influenced from surfaces on the windward side. As such, extending these measurements for inhomogeneous experimental sites requires a quantitative understanding of these influences. When combined with atmospheric transport models similar to air pollution models, the ‘footprint’ concept – a fundamental approach introduced roughly 20 years ago – provides us with information on whether or not the condition of upwind site homogeneity is fulfilled. Since these first models, the development of more scientifically based versions, validation experiments and applications has advanced rapidly. The aim of this book is to provide an overview of these developments, to analyze present deficits, to describe applications and to advance this topic at the forefront of micrometeorological research.  .Atmospheric sciencesClimatologyGeographyEcology Environmental monitoringGeoecologyEnvironmental geologyAtmospheric Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G36000Climatologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/311000Geography, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J00000Ecologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19007Monitoring/Environmental Analysishttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U1400XGeoecology/Natural Processeshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U21006Atmospheric sciences.Climatology.Geography.Ecology .Environmental monitoring.Geoecology.Environmental geology.Atmospheric Sciences.Climatology.Geography, general.Ecology.Monitoring/Environmental Analysis.Geoecology/Natural Processes.333.7363.706355551.5Leclerc Monique Yauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1058768Foken Thomasauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910298379403321Footprints in Micrometeorology and Ecology2502399UNINA
