Inhaltsangabe

The task of the Dahlem Konferenzen is to promote the international, interdisciplinary exchange of scientific information and ideas, to stimulate international co-operation in research and to develop and test new models conducive to more effective communication between scientists. This volume contains the proceedings of a Dahlem Workshop held in Berlin in November 1987. Four specific areas were discussed: how the atmosphere has already changed, the oxidizing capacity of the atmosphere, changes in Antarctic ozone, and trace substances and radiation balance of the Earth. Emphasis was placed on possible changes that have occurred in the global distribution of trace gases and aerosol particles as a result of human activities.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The Changing Atmosphere F. S. Rowland I. S. A. Isaksen Editors The global distribution of a large number of trace gases and aerosol particles is changing. Many of these species are of importance for the Earth s climate and the oxidation capacity of the atmosphere. Changes may therefore be important in the future for a wide range of environmental problems such as global temperature changes, the oxidation of acidic species, formation of photochemical oxidants, and depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer. In this volume four specific areas directly related to these problems are discussed: (a) how the atmosphere has already changed, (b) the oxidizing capacity of the atmosphere, (c) changes in the Antarctic ozone, and (d) trace substances and radiation balance of the Earth. The authors of the background papers and the group reports discuss the state of knowledge in these four areas, with special emphasis on possible changes that have occurred in the global distribution of trace gases and aerosol particles as a result of human activities. This volume should appeal, in particular, to scientists working in the fields of atmospheric chemistry and physics, meteorology, and those interested in environmental issues such as climate change, ozone depletion, and tropospheric pollution.
