Inhaltsangabe

Recent ecological disasters make human beings aware of changes in the Earth’s climate. At the present time anthropogenic activities lead to the emission of greenhouse gases, pollutants, aerosols and ozone depleting substances and the scientific community in general feels responsible for understanding how changes in atmospheric chemistry can affect the Earth’s climate.

The first part of these proceedings describes the current capabilities of various satellite experiments which are performing measurements of the Earth’s atmosphere, as for example some of the results obtained recently by three experiments onboard the Environment Satellite (ENVISAT), namely, the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME), the SCanning Imaging Absorption for Atmospheric CHartographY (SCIAMACHY) and the Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS). For the analysis of spectra recorded by these instruments it is necessary to make good use of efficient radiative transfer codes. These computer codes need as input, a dataset of high quality spectroscopic parameters which can be generated only through a careful analysis of high quality laboratory measurements. In addition some of the future satellite missions which are under preparation at the European Space Agency (ESA) are briefly described.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Natalja Vogt studied chemistry in Ivanovo University of Chemical Technology and physics in Ivanovo State University (Russia). She received her PhD in physical chemistry in 1986 in Prof. Georgiy V. Girichev's group, afterward (from 1989 to 1990) carrying out postdoctoral research in Prof. Istvan Hargittai's group at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in Budapest. Between 1991 and 2022 she was senior scientist at the University of Ulm. Her habilitation work on the topic "Equilibrium structure and its determination for biomolecules" was finished in the electron diffraction laboratory at the Lomonosov Moscow State University in 2012, and between 2013 and 2021 she was professor of the Chemistry department at this university.Natalja Vogt is one of the editors and/or authors of the eleven Landolt-Börnstein volumes "Structure Data of Free Polyatomic Molecules" (Group II: Molecules and Radicals; V.23, V.25(A-D), V.28(A-D), V.30(A, B)) together with Prof. Kozo Kuchitsu, Prof.Mitsutoshi Tanimoto, Prof. Eizi Hirota, and others. She published about 110 peer-reviewed scientific papers and 17 books.Jean Demaison studied chemical engineering at the École Nationale Supérieure des Industries Chimiques in Nancy, France, from 1964 to 1967. After being awarded his diploma in October of 1967, he obtained a position at the French Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) as Researcher in the theoretical chemistry laboratory at the University of Nancy. He received his Ph.D. in 1972, in this laboratory on the topic "Internal rotation of two top molecules in rotational spectroscopy" under the direction of Prof. Jean Barriol, in conjunction with research he carried out in Freiburg, Germany, under the direction of Prof. Heinz Dieter Rudolph. He was invited professor at the University of Ulm from February 1974 to June 1975. He was promoted Research Director at CNRS in 1985. From 2001 to 2004, he was Guest Professor at the University of Louvain-La-Neuve, and from 2006 to 2008, at the Free University of Brussels. He was also Visiting Scientist in several laboratories (Austin, Kiel, Mühlheim, Valladolid). Jean Demaison published more than 370 papers and 22 books. He received the Sixth International Barbara Mez-Starck Prize for outstanding contribution in the field of structural chemistry, Austin, March 2008.
