Complete description

This book describes in detail the distribution of different climates within Israel. These range from overall trends that fit into climate models for Europe and the Mediterranean, to studies of urban climates and air quality, the interplay between local winds and air pollution, forecasting, and rainfall stimulation that is of course very important in agriculture. While basically a reference book, this work could also be used as a textbook, especially in the Middle East. Top page
