This book presents a summary of the lectures given at the NATO
Advanced Science Institute (ASI) which took place at Val Morin,
Quebec, Canada, 4-15 September, 1995. This summer school offered an
excellent opportunity to discuss key scientific questions related
to the stratosphere and its importance for the climate system.
Approximately 85 students and 15 lecturers from 19 nations attended
the ASI which was sponsored by SPARC (Stratospheric Processes and
Their Role in Climate), a project of the World Climate Research
Programme. The purpose of the ASI was to present truly tutorial
lectures rather than highly specialized or technical talks. At the
conference, mornings were devoted to fundamental presentations
while short illustrative talks were given in the afternoon. The
book presents a summary of the two types of lectures. We were
fortunate to enlist the participation of outstanding experts in the
field of atmospheric science and excellent teachers. Students were
strongly encouraged to actively participate in various activities
during the summer school; for example, the students were asked to
summarize the lectures given by the teachers, and in most cases,
the chapters presented in this book were written by small groups of
students and reviewed by the lecturers. During the school, students
had also the opportunity to present posters that described their
personal research. These lecture notes are divided into three major
parts.
