INTRODUCTION TO MODERN INSTRUMENTATION - DARDO ...

Natural hazards and anthropic activities threaten the human environment. 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. All 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. The 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. Basic 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. The 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.
