Summary

One challenge in atmospheric chemistry is understanding the intercontinental transport and transformation of gases and aerosols. This book describes observational and modeling techniques used to understand atmospheric composition from satellites, aircraft and ground based platforms.

Observing Systems for Atmospheric Composition Summary

Observing Systems for Atmospheric Composition: Satellite, Aircraft, Sensor Web and Ground-Based Observational Methods and Strategies by Guido Visconti

One challenge in atmospheric chemistry is understanding the intercontinental transport and transformation of gases and aerosols. This book describes observational and modeling techniques used to understand atmospheric composition from satellites, aircraft and ground based platforms. Common ideas presented throughout are the role of each component in an observing system for atmospheric composition, and advances necessary to improve understanding of atmospheric composition.

Observing Systems for Atmospheric Composition Reviews

From the reviews:

"This book covers the lectures given there by experts, presented as 17 chapters, and arranged in four parts which cover the ground specified in the books sub-title. All in all, this is valuable and timely summary of the state of the art for observing and understanding the composition of the Earths atmosphere, which is so precious a resource to us humans." (M. J. Rycroft, Surveys in Geophysics, Vol. 28, 2007)
