Description
Praise for Guy P. Brasseur's Atmospheric Chemistry in a Changing World
American Meteorological Society
"This volume summarizes and integrates more than a decade of atmospheric chemistry research. During the period under consideration, great progress has been made in computing, modeling, and observational techniques, and methods have also improved. Here, suggestions for the highest priority research for the next decade are made, and important information is related regarding impacts on the environment."
