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.
