This is a textbook for non-atmospheric specialists who work in the coastal zone. Its purpose will be to help coastal environmental, engineering, and planning professionals to understand coastal atmospheric processes. This in turn will allow more effective communication with climate modelers, atmospheric environmental consultants, and members of the media.
The coastal environment is among the most intensively used and chronically abused components of the Earth-ocean-atmosphere system. It is also home to an ever-increasing proportion of humanity with their increasing development, trade, transportation, and industrial activities, amid increasing impacts of natural hazards. The atmosphere is an integral part of the system, with all of the above human activities affecting and being affected by atmospheric processes and hazards. Yet few of the specialists studying the coastal environment have expertise on atmospheric processes, this therefore presents a highly relevant textbookon coastal atmospheric processes.

Make a stand-alone weather data recorder to collect air pressure, air temperature, and humidity data using only an Arduino, SD card, LCD display, and solar power. Start with this base data and build your project from there. Chunyan has years of experience as a researcher in meteorology and oceanography. The projects in this book are based on actual deployable weather data recorders used for collegiate and professional applications. These weather recorders were deployed over coastal waters and lands, including the Arctic. And you can deploy your own finished model in your backyard, schoolyard, rooftop, or even in the field to collect data at programmed intervals.
Don’t worry about powering all that tech. You’ll learn about solar controllers, solar panels, and step-down DC transformers. Find out what happens when you combine a simple Arduino with sensors, one at a time, toward a final model capable of multiple measurements and long-term use without recharging or requiring external power. With a GPS module integrated into the system, you can have accurate time and position information to pair with your data.
Everything you need to know about integrating components and housing them in an enclosure is covered. Photos of actual working units are provided, showing you exactly what your data collection station can look like. By accessing the supplemental materials on the book''s GitHub pages, you’ll even go a step beyond to learn more meteorological information, how to use the collected data, and how to analyze it. Build a station capable of real meteorological research and then expand to add more sensors and capabilities for your own projects and experiments!
