The alarming consequences of global climate change have highlightedthe need to take urgent steps to combat the causes of airpollution. Hence, understanding the Earth's atmosphere is a vitalcomponent in Man's emerging quest for developing sustainable modesof behaviour in the 21st century.
Written by a team of expert scientists, the Handbook ofAtmospheric Science provides a broad and up-to-date account ofour understanding of the natural processes that occur within theatmosphere. It examines how Man's activities have had adetrimental effect on the climate, and how measures may beimplemented in order to modify these activities. The bookprogresses through chapters covering the principles of atmosphericscience and the current problems of air pollution at the urban,regional and global scales, to the tools and applications used tounderstand air pollution.
The Handbook of Atmospheric Science offers an excellentoverview of this multi-disciplinary subject and will proveinvaluable to both students and researchers of atmospheric science,air pollution and global change.
