The gathering of field data is needed so as to quantify the impact of such activities. To gather the necessary data researchers nowadays use a great variety of new instruments based on electronics. Yet, the working principles of this new instrumentation might not be well understood by some potential users. \u003cbr\u003eAll operators of these new tools must gain proper insight so as to be able to judge whether the instrument is selected appropriately and functions adequately. This book attempts to demonstrate some characteristics that are not easy to understand by the uninitiated in the use of electronic instruments. \u003cbr\u003eThe material presented in this book was prepared with the purpose of reflecting the technological changes that have occurred in environmental modern instrumentation in the last few decades. The book is intended for students of hydrology, hydraulics, oceanography, meteorology and environmental sciences. \u003cbr\u003eBasic concepts of electronics, special physics principles and signal processing are introduced in the first chapters in order to enable the reader to follow the topics developed in the book, without any prior knowledge of these matters. \u003cbr\u003eThe instruments are explained in detail and several examples are introduced to show their measuring limitations. Enough mathematical fundamentals are given to allow the reader to reach a good quantitative knowledge. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dardo Oscar Guaraglia,Jorge Lorenzo Pousa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3110401711\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110401714\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Walter de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/06\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 433\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.20h x 7.30w x 1.50d","brand":"Dardo Oscar Guaraglia","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48446082416895,"sku":"9783110401714","price":227.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0eef20f9-5644-43ce-9bc2-167692f3b167.jpg?v=1777222496","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/introduction-to-modern-instrumentation-for-dardo-oscar-guaraglia-9783110401714","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
