Book description
Thoroughly restructured and updated with new findings and new features
The Second Edition of this internationally acclaimed text presents the
latest developments in atmospheric science. It continues to be the
premier text for both a rigorous and a complete treatment of the
chemistry of the atmosphere, covering such pivotal topics as:
* Chemistry of the stratosphere and troposphere
* Formation, growth, dynamics, and properties of aerosols
* Meteorology of air pollution
* Transport, diffusion, and removal of species in the atmosphere
* Formation and chemistry of clouds
* Interaction of atmospheric chemistry and climate
* Radiative and climatic effects of gases and particles
* Formulation of mathematical chemical/transport models of the atmosphere
All chapters develop results based on fundamental principles, enabling
the reader to build a solid understanding of the science underlying
atmospheric processes. Among the new material are three new chapters:
Atmospheric Radiation and Photochemistry, General Circulation of the
Atmosphere, and Global Cycles. In addition, the chapters Stratospheric
Chemistry, Tropospheric Chemistry, and Organic Atmospheric Aerosols have
been rewritten to reflect the latest findings.
Readers familiar with the First Edition will discover a text with new
structures and new features that greatly aid learning. Many examples are
set off in the text to help readers work through the application of
concepts. Advanced material has been moved to appendices. Finally, many
new problems, coded by degree of difficulty, have been added. A
solutions manual is available.
Thoroughly updated and restructured, the Second Edition of Atmospheric
Chemistry and Physics is an ideal textbook for upper-level undergraduate
and graduate students, as well as a reference for researchers in
environmental engineering, meteorology, chemistry, and the atmospheric
sciences.
