It is now possible to determine concentrations of trace
constituents and pollutants in the lower atmosphere from space, a
development which heralds a new era for tropospheric chemistry.
The authors describe how to develop and validate methods for
determining tropospheric trace constituents from satellite data, to
encourage the use of these data by atmospheric chemists, and to
explore the undoubted synergism which will develop between
satellite and ground-based measurements, and will eventually give
rise to a permanent observation system for the troposphere. The
book comprises several comprehensive overviews, prepared by
acknowledged experts in the field, together with a series of
individual reports from investigators whose work represents the
cutting edge of the subject. A variety of results, giving global
distributions of several species and their modelling are reported.
Most results stem from ESA satellite data, but there is also an
account of the North American work in this field which has mainly
concentrated on global distributions of ozone.
It is fair to say that the field, as it develops, will
revolutionize the way in which atmospheric chemistry is done. This
timely book provides a good introduction for anyone with an
interest in the future of the troposphere.
