Aeronomy of the Middle Atmosphere Chemistry and Physics of the Stratosphere and Mesosphere

Reviews of the Previous Edition: "Aeronomy of the Middle Atmosphere is an interesting and well-written overview of the current status of our knowledge of the composition of the middle atmosphere and the basic radiative, dynamical and photochemical processes which maintain it. I am not aware of another book which addresses the middle atmosphere from such a broad interdisciplinary perspective[!] Many atmospheric scientists will wish to add this book to their personal collections." (Bulletin American Meteorological Society) "[!]an important book at the right time. It is intended as an introduction to the field of middle atmosphere chemistry and physics and as a reference book for researchers in this area as well. There is no doubt that it can fulfil both tasks very well.[!] Rich and solid material is presented for the evaluation of thermal and photochemical effects of radiation.[!]outstanding and stimulating review[!] The authors themselves have made numerous important contributions to this development, a fact well reflected by the content and quality of their review." (Beitrage zur Physik der Atmosphare) From the reviews of the third edition: "The book provides an excellent introduction to the subject and a good summary of the state of knowledge ! . Most or all chapters have been carefully updated, and a major addition to the current edition is a more complete discussion of natural and anthropogenic ozone perturbations. It deserves to be on the shelf of any serious graduate student or researcher with an interest in atmospheric chemistry and physics. ! overall the book is a very important addition to the atmospheric literature."
