Atmospheric Science for Environmental Scientists

Abstract

Concepts in atmospheric and environmental sciences are intimately connected, but the two disciplines are often treated as if they are only thinly interrelated. Atmospheric Science for Environmental Scientists dispenses with such unrealistic separations between the atmosphere and the environment by delving into concepts that link atmospheric dynamics, chemistry, and dispersion to the environment. With a fashionable and consistent layout, the book comprises 11 well‐written chapters contributed by renowned experts in atmospheric chemistry, air pollution, climate change science, and boundary layer physics. In an uncommonly detailed fashion, the book weaves together atmospheric and environmental science concepts, especially those related to atmospheric chemistry and dispersion as well as the long‐term climatic factors and short‐term planetary boundary layer dynamics and physics that affect coupled biosphere‐atmosphere variability.
