This book looks at past, present and future measurement techniques, describing the operation of the instruments used and the quality and accuracy of the data they produce. The book will be important for all those who use or collect such data, whether for pure research or day-to-day management of the environment. It will be useful for students and professionals working in a wide range of environmental science: meteorology, climatology, hydrology, water resources, oceanography, civil engineering, agriculture, forestry, glaciology, ecology. 606 $aEarth sciences$xMeasurement 606 $aEnvironmental monitoring 615 0$aEarth sciences$xMeasurement. 615 0$aEnvironmental monitoring. 676 $a363.7/063 700 $aStrangeways$b Ian$f1932-$01517998 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780069503321 996 $aMeasuring the natural environment$93755310 997 $aUNINA
