Atmospheric Chemistry And Physics: From Air Pollution To Climate Change, Second Edition

Thoroughly restructured and updated with new findings and newfeaturesThe Second Edition of this internationally acclaimed text presentsthe latest developments in atmospheric science. It continues to bethe premier text for both a rigorous and a complete treatment ofthe chemistry of the atmosphere, covering such pivotal topicsas:* Chemistry of the stratosphere and troposphere* Formation, growth, dynamics, and properties of aerosols* Meteorology of air pollution* Transport, diffusion, and removal of species in theatmosphere* 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 theatmosphereAll chapters develop results based on fundamental principles,enabling the reader to build a solid understanding of the scienceunderlying atmospheric processes. Among the new material are threenew chapters: Atmospheric Radiation and Photochemistry, GeneralCirculation of the Atmosphere, and Global Cycles. In addition, thechapters Stratospheric Chemistry, Tropospheric Chemistry, andOrganic Atmospheric Aerosols have been rewritten to reflect thelatest findings.Readers familiar with the First Edition will discover a text withnew structures and new features that greatly aid learning. Manyexamples are set off in the text to help readers work through theapplication of concepts. Advanced material has been moved toappendices. Finally, many new problems, coded by degree ofdifficulty, have been added. A solutions manual is available.Thoroughly updated and restructured, the Second Edition ofAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics is an ideal textbook forupper-level undergraduate and graduate students, as well as areference for researchers in environmental engineering,meteorology, chemistry, and the atmospheric sciences.
