Book description
Both hydrologists and meteorologists need to speak a common scientific
language, and this has given rise to the new scientific discipline of
hydrometeorology,
which deals with the transfer of water and energy across the
land/atmosphere interface.
Terrestrial Hydrometeorology is the first graduate-level text
with sufficient breadth and depth to be used in hydrology departments
to teach relevant aspects of meteorology, and in meteorological
departments to teach relevant aspects of hydrology, and to serve as an
introductory text to teach the emerging discipline of hydrometeorology.
The book will be essential reading for graduate students studying
surface water hydrology, meteorology, and hydrometeorology. It can
also be used in advanced undergraduate courses, and will be welcomed
by academic and professional hydrologists and meteorologists worldwide.

Dr. Shuttleworth
worked for 20 years at the UK's Institute of Hydrology, ultimately as
Head of the Hydrological Processes Division. In 1993 he joined the
University of Arizona where he is Regents' Professor in both the
Department of Hydrology and Water Resources and the Atmospheric Sciences
Department. He has served on numerous national and international
scientific advisory committees, including the National Research Council,
the International Council of Scientific Unions, the International
Hydrology Programme, the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme,
and the World Climate Research Programme. In 2001 Dr. Shuttleworth was
awarded the AGU Hydrology Prize for "outstanding contributions to
the science of hydrology", and in 2006 IAHS, UNESCO and WMO jointly
awarded him the prestigious International Hydrology Prize.
