Description and Table of Contents
Description
The papers presented in this volume have been divided into three main chapters. Firstly Atmospheric Trace Species which is primarily concerned with the construction of a COSPAR International Reference Atmosphere (CIRA -Volume 3) for trace constituents of the middle atmosphere and lower thermosphere. Possible reference models and data were presented on a number of trace species including background stratospheric aerosols, polar stratospheric clouds, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, water vapor, thermospheric nitric oxide, molecular oxygen airglow emissions, atomic oxygen and atomic hydrogen. Chapter 2 entitled Equatorial Thermosphere and Aeronomy: Models and San Marco Satellite/Ground Based observations reflects the advances made recently in equatorial aeronomy and demonstrate the promise of coordinated measurements using satellite measurements in conjunction with sounding rockets and ground-based experiments. The final chapter, Coupling of Dynamical, Radiative and Chemical Processes in the Middle Atmosphere examines the ozone hole and related atmospheric chemistry and modelling.
