Klappentext Examines variations in space and time of the Earth's atmospherical! hydrological and terrestrial systems. Zusammenfassung Combining the disciplines of hydrologists! meteorologists and ecologists! this book deals with variations in time and space scales of the Earth's atmospherical! hydrological and terrestrial systems.
