Designing Inexpensive Instruments for Monitoring the Atmosphere
Focusing on the intersection of science and practical application, this book provides foundational knowledge about the sun and Earth's atmosphere. It guides readers through the design, construction, calibration, and utilization of affordable instruments for measuring solar radiation. These measurements play a vital role in enhancing our understanding of climate change, making the book a valuable resource for both enthusiasts and researchers interested in environmental science.
The text addresses two significant trends in undergraduate engineering and science education: the shift away from traditional programming courses, particularly Fortran 77, towards more modern languages like C and C++. It highlights the decline of Pascal in scientific computing and the delayed adoption of Fortran 90. Additionally, it discusses the evolving curriculum that emphasizes practical engineering applications earlier in students' education, contrasting with the previous focus on theoretical and mathematical foundations.
The author shows how using computers and FORTRAN 95 it is possible to tackle and solve a wide range of problems as they might be encountered in engineering or in the physical sciences.
