After World War II, Professor S.K. Mitra wrote a comprehensive
book called The Upper Atmosphere, which dealt with information
available from ground-based and balloon-borne experiments. As a
result, topics such as day airglow were investigated and further
ground-based experiments using incoherent back-scattering were
carried out. These activities resulted in new information on the
ozonosphere.
The dramatic discovery of ozone holes forms a new and exciting
chapter in the discovery of atmospheric processes. While dealing
with the limits of the atmosphere, reference may be made to
interstellar molecules whose discovery has raised considerable
scientific curiosity. Knowledge of the solar-terrestrial
relationship advanced a great deal when more information on solar
radiation became available by measuring higher energy photons in
the UV, EUV, and even X-ray regimes.
All this information is incorporated in this volume and
presented under the title The Neutral Upper Atmosphere.
