Physical Processes and Measurement Devices (Repost)

This series of five volumes proposes an integrated description of physical processes modeling used by scientific disciplines from meteorology to coastal morphodynamics. Volume 1 describes the physical processes and identifies the main measurement devices used to measure the main parameters that are indispensable to implement all these simulation tools. Volume 2 presents the different theories in an integrated approach: mathematical models as well as conceptual models, used by all disciplines to represent these processes. Volume 3 identifies the main numerical methods used in all these scientific fields to translate mathematical models into numerical tools. Volume 4 is composed of a series of case studies, dedicated to practical applications of these tools in engineering problems. To complete this presentation, volume 5 identifies and describes the modeling software in each discipline.Content: Chapter 1 Presentation of the Environmental Hydraulics Treatise (pages 1–39): Chapter 2 Flooding and Natural Disasters (pages 41–48): Chapter 3 Climate Change and Hydrology (pages 49–61): Chapter 4 Formation of Clouds and Rain (pages 63–74): Chapter 5 Evapotranspiration (pages 75–80): Chapter 6 Runoff (pages 81–107): Chapter 7 Drainage Basin (pages 109–121): Chapter 8 Statistical and Semi?Empirical Hydrology (pages 123–165): Chapter 9 Mechanisms of Free?Surface Flow (pages 167–221): Chapter 10 Generation and Propagation of Floods in Urban Areas (pages 223–237): Chapter 11 Quality of Surface Waters (pages 239–247): Chapter 12 Transport of Sediments – Bedload and Suspension (pages 249–274): Chapter 13 Fluvial Morphodynamics (pages 275–296): Chapter 14 Typology of Rivers and Streams (pages 297–320): Chapter 15 Estuaries (pages 321–372): Chapter 16 The Tide (pages 373–388): Chapter 17 Waves (pages 389–418): Chapter 18 Storm and Storm Surge Forecasts (pages 419–425): Chapter 19 Coastal Zone (pages 427–461): Chapter 20 Introduction to Measuring Systems (pages 463–467): Chapter 21 Measurement of the Meteorological Parameters Related to the Water Cycle (pages 469–492): Chapter 20 Topographic and Bathymetric Data (pages 493–503): Chapter 23 Soils, Water and Water in Soils (pages 505–515): Chapter 24 Levels and Flowrates in Watercourses, Lakes And Reservoirs (pages 517–531): Chapter 25 Water Quality Measurements (pages 533–538): Chapter 26 Measuring Ice Cover Thickness (pages 539–547): Chapter 27 Measurements in Fluvial Sedimentology (pages 549–558): Chapter 28 Measurements in Urban Hydrology (pages 559–577): Chapter 29 Measuring Currents, Swells and the Sea Level (pages 579–582): Chapter 30 Sedimentological Measurements in a Coastal Environment (pages 583–595): Chapter 31 New Technologies from Space (pages 597–603):
