  • Transnational Environmental Policyby Reiner Grundmann

    Routledge 2001; US$ 198.00

    This book analyses a surprising success story in the field of international environmental policy making; the threat to the ozone layer posed by industrial chemicals, and how it has been averted. more...

  • CO2 Emissions from Fuel Combustionby Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development

    Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2004; US$ 149.00

    Recent years have witnessed a fundamental change in the way governments approach energy-related environmental issues. In recognition of this change and in preparation for the Tenth Conference of the Parties (COP-10) meeting under the U.N. Climate Convention in Buenos Aires, Argentina, from 6 to 17 December 2004, the IEA has prepared this publication on CO2 emissions from fuel combustion. more...

  • Weather Analysis and Forecastingby Patrick Santurette; Christo Georgiev

    Elsevier 2005; US$ 65.95

    In this practical guide, Santurette and Georgiev show how to interpret water vapor patterns in terms of dynamical processes in the atmosphere and their relation to diagnostics available from weather prediction models. In particular, they concentrate on the close relationship between satellite imagery and the potential vorticity fields in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere. These applications are illustrated with color images based on real meteorological situations. The book's step-by-step pedagogy makes this an essential training manual for forecasters in meteorological services worldwide, and a valuable text for graduate students in atmospheric physics and satellite meteorology. * Shows how to analyze current satellite images for... more...

  • The Phanerozoic Carbon Cycleby Robert A. Berner

    Oxford University Press 2004; US$ 125.00

    The Pharnerozoic Carbon Cycle applies an earth system science approach to the study of the long-term carbon cycle, which involves the transfer of carbon between rocks and the atmosphere, oceans and life. Theoretical modeling is used to calculate how levels of atmosphere CO2 nad O2 have changed over the past 550 million years. more...

  • CO2 Emissions from Fuel Combustion : 1971 / 2004by OECD Publishing

    Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2006; US$ 188.00

    In recognition of fundamental changes in the way governments approach energy-related environmental issues, the IEA has prepared this publication on CO 2 emissions from fuel combustion. This annual publication was first published in 1997 and has become an essential tool for analysts and policy makers in many international fora such as the Conference of the Parties.  . The twelfth session of the Conference of the Parties to the Climate Change Convention (COP 12), in conjunction with the second meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (COP/MOP 2), will be meeting in Nairobi from 6 to 17 November 2006.  . The data in this book are designed to assist in understanding the evolution of the emissions of CO 2 from 1971 to 2004 for... more...

  • Earth Observation with CHAMPby Christoph Reigber; Hermann Lühr; Peter Schwintzer

    Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2005; US$ 239.00

    In the summer of 2000 the German geo-research satellite CHAMP was launched into orbit. Its innovative payload arrangement and the low initial orbit allow CHAMP to simultaneously collect and almost continuously analyse precise data relating to gravity and magnetic fields at low altitude. more...

  • Electron Collisions with Molecules in Gasesby Mineo Kimura; Y. Itikawa

    Elsevier 2000; US$ 225.00

    This series, established in 1965, is concerned with recent developments in the general area of atomic, molecular, and optical physics. The field is in a state of rapid growth, as new experimental and theoretical techniques are used on many old and new problems. Topics covered also include related applied areas, such as atmospheric science, astrophysics, surface physics, and laser physics. Articles are written by distinguished experts who are active in their research fields. The articles contain both relevant review material as well as detailed descriptions of important recent developments. more...

  • Chemistry and Physics of Stratospheric Ozoneby Andrew Dessler

    Elsevier 2000; US$ 120.00

    Chemistry and Physics of Stratospheric Ozone will provide an in-depth account of chemical and physical properties of stratospheric ozone, which will be valuable to a wide audience. The research of the last decade has produced as many arguments as answers, and the author provides a good account of both the accepted and provocative resolutions. * Focuses on the important aspects of stratospheric ozone that are needed to understand most of the literature * Provides extensive discussion of the natural and human-induced changes to the "ozone layer" * Includes homework problems at the end of each chapter more...

  • Chemistry of the Natural Atmosphereby Peter Warneck

    Elsevier 1999; US$ 210.00

    Knowledge of thc chemical behavior of trace compounds in the atmosphere has grown steadily, and sometimes even spectacularly, in recent decades. These developments have led to the emergence of atmospheric chemistry as a new branch of science. This book covers all aspects of atmospheric chemistry on a global scale, integrating information from chemistry and geochemistry, physics, and biology to provide a unified account. For each atmospheric constituent of interest, the text summarizes the principal observations on global distribution, chemical reactions, natural and anthropogenic sources, and physical removal processes. Coverage includes processes in the gas phase, in aerosols and c1ouds, and in precipitation, as well as biogeochemical cycles... more...

  • Chemistry of the Upper and Lower Atmosphereby Barbara J. Finlayson-Pitts; James N. Jr. Pitts

    Elsevier 1999; US$ 148.00

    Here is the most comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of one of the hottest areas of chemical research. The treatment of fundamental kinetics and photochemistry will be highly useful to chemistry students and their instructors at the graduate level, as well as postdoctoral fellows entering this new, exciting, and well-funded field with a Ph.D. in a related discipline (e.g., analytical, organic, or physical chemistry, chemical physics, etc.). Chemistry of the Upper and Lower Atmosphere provides postgraduate researchers and teachers with a uniquely detailed, comprehensive, and authoritative resource. The text bridges the "gap" between the fundamental chemistry of the earth's atmosphere and "real world" examples of its application to the development... more...
