| Title | The Neutral Upper Atmosphere |
| Author(s) | Ghosh, S.N |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 2002. |
| Description | XII, 206 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | 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 |

| Title | Exploring the Atmosphere by Remote Sensing Techniques |
| Author(s) | Guzzi, Rodolfo |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2003. |
| Description | XII, 264 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Only satellite-based remote-sensing instruments generate the wealth of global data on the concentrations of atmospheric constituents that are necessary for long-term monitoring of the atmosphere. This set of courses and lectures sponsored by ICTP in Trieste focuses on remote sensing for atmospheric applications and inverse methods to assess atmospheric components, gases, aerosols and clouds. It addresses primarily graduate students and young researchers in the atmospheric sciences but will be useful for all those wishing to study various techniques for exploring the atmosphere by remote sensing. Contributions span topics such as on IGOS (Integrated Global Observing Strategy), electromagnetic scattering by non-spherical particles, forward-modelling requirements and the information content problem, Earth radiation, and aerosol monitoring by LIDAR |

| Title | Physics of the Earth???s Space Environment : An Introduction |
| Author(s) | Pr??lss, Gerd |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2004. |
| Description | XV, 513 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book on the terrestrial space environment is directed at a broad group of students and scientists, who seek knowledge of the methods and results of space research. The only prerequisites are fundamental physics and mathematics as usually acquired in introductory college courses in science or engineering curricula. Stressing physical insight rather than mathematical precision, "Physics of the Earth???s Space Environment" derives further knowledge on selected topics as each phenomenon is considered and strives to present experimental results in conjunction with basic reasoning about the underlying physics. The content???s breadth and introductory nature make this an ideal reader for students in geophysics, meteorology, space sciences and astronomy |

| Title | Collisional Processes in the Solar System |
| Author(s) | Marov, Mikhail Ya;Rickman, Hans |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 2001. |
| Description | X, 357 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The exploration of our Solar System is rapidly growing in importance as a scientific discipline. During the last decades, great progress has been achieved as the result of space missions to planets and small bodies - as?? teroids and comets - and improved remote-sensing methods, as well as due to refined techniques of laboratory measurements and a rapid progress in theoretical studies, involving the development of various astrophysical and geophysical models. These models are based, in particular, on the approach of comparative planetology becoming a powerful tool in revealing evolu?? tionary processes which have been shaping the planets since their origin. Comets and asteroids, being identified as remnants of planetary formation, serve as a clue to the reconstruction of Solar System history because they encapsulated the primordial material from which the planets were built up. At the same time, these interplanetary carriers of original matter and mes?? sengers from the past, being triggered by dynamical processes well outside our neighboring space, were responsible for numerous catastrophic events when impacting on the planets and thus causing dramatic changes of their natural conditions. In the crossroads of astronomy and geophysics, recent years have seen a growing understanding of the importance of collisional processes through?? out the history of the Solar System and, therefore, the necessity to get more insight into the problem of interactions of planets and small bodies |

| Title | Continuum Methods of Physical Modeling : Continuum Mechanics, Dimensional Analysis, Turbulence |
| Author(s) | Hutter, Kolumban;J??hnk, Klaus |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2004. |
| Description | XV, 636 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The authors give an introduction into continuum thermomechanics, the methods of dimensional analysis and turbulence modeling. All these themes belong today to the everyday working method of not only environmental physicists but equally also those engineers, who are confronted with continuous systems of solid and fluid mechanics, soil mechanics and generally the mechanics and thermodynamics of heterogeneous systems. Here the reader finds a rigorous mathematical presentation of the material which is also seen as the foundation for environmentally related physics like oceanography, limnology, glaciology, climate dynamics and other topics in geophysics. Even though it is hoped that the book will also be used as a source book by researchers in the broad field of continuum physics, its intention is essentially to form a basis for teaching for upper level students majoring in mechanics, mathematics, physics and the classical engineering sciences. The intention is to equip the reader with the ability to understand the complex nonlinear modeling in material behaviour and turbulence closure as well as to derive or invent his own models |

| Title | Exploring the Secrets of the Aurora |
| Author(s) | Akasofu, Syun-Ichi |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 2002. |
| Description | XXXVIII, 235 p. 208 illus., 14 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Prominent progress in science is inevitably associated with controversies. Thus, young researchers, in particular, have to learn how to persevere during the period of controversy and struggle for acceptance. Unfortunately, the skills needed are not taught in textbooks or monographs, which mostly describe the consensus of contemporary experts. This book, which is based on my own experiences as a scientist, describes the history of the progress made in auroral science and magnetospheric physics by providing examples of ideas, controversies, struggles, acceptance, and success in some instances. Although no general methodology (if any exists) is mentioned, I hope that the reader will learn about the history of progress in auroral science and examples (right or wrong) of dealing with the controversies |

| Title | The Patagonian Icefields : A Unique Natural Laboratory for Environmental and Climate Change Studies |
| Author(s) | Casassa, Gino;Sep??lveda, Francisco V;Sinclair, Rolf M |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer US, 2002. |
| Description | XXVII, 194 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The majesty of the icefields is beyond description. He who has been fortunate to be there once, remains bound forever. To a theoretical physicist working on black holes the icefields produce a familiar vertigo, the instinctive certainty of being confronted with something so simple and beautifully extreme that it must be of importance. The meeting whose proceedings are contained in this volume was conducted onboard of a vessel that went to the icefields, and the participants could literally set foot on them. It was expected that, for those who had not been there before, this would constitute a ritual of initiation. And so it did. For this reason we like to refer to the meeting as an expedition because, although it did not have the hardship, it had the spirit. After this foundational expedition there have been two others, this time both with spirit and hardship, one from Chile and one from Argentina. At the moment of this writing, a fourth, full-fledged airborne expedition to the icefields is about to depart from Valdivia. Many of the people of many nations who were on board of the Aquiles will take part in it. We look forward to its results, and to an ongoing exciting scientific adventure. Claudio Teitelboim Director, Centro de Estudios Cientfficos Valdivia, September 2001 v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This volume is the result of the effort and generosity of many people and institutions |

| Title | Occultations for Probing Atmosphere and Climate |
| Author(s) | Kirchengast, Gottfried;Foelsche, Ulrich;Steiner, Andrea |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2004. |
| Description | X, 408 p. 265 illus., 35 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Use of occultation methodology for observing the Earth's atmosphere and climate has become so broad as to comprise solar, lunar, stellar, navigation and satellite?? crosslink occultation methods. The atmospheric parameters obtained extend from the fundamental variables temperature, density, pressure, water vapor, and ozone via a multitude of trace gas species to particulate species such as aerosols and cloud liquid water. Ionospheric electron density is sensed as well. The methods all share the key properties of self-calibration, high accuracy and vertical resolution, global coverage, and (if using radio signals) all-weather capability. Occultation data are thus of high value in a wide range of fields including climate monitoring and research, atmospheric physics and chemistry, operational meteorology, and other fields such as space weather and planetary science. This wide area of variants and uses of the occultation method has led to a diversi?? fication of the occultation-related scientific community into a range of different sub-communities, however. The 1st International Workshop on Occultations for Probing Atmosphere and Cli?? mate-OPAC-1- held September 16-20, 2002, in Graz, Austria, has set in ex?? actly at this point. OPAC-1 aimed at providing a casual forum and stimulating at?? mosphere fertilizing scientific discourse, co-operation initiatives, and mutual learning and support amongst members of all the different sub-communities. The workshop was attended by about 80 participants from 17 different countries who actively contributed to a scientific programme of high quality and to an excellent workshop atmosphere, which was judged by the participants to have fully met the aims expressed |

| Title | Chemistry and Radiation Changes in the Ozone Layer |
| Author(s) | Zerefos, Christos S;Isaksen, Ivar S.A;Ziomas, Ioannis |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 2000. |
| Description | XII, 398 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Recent studies have demonstrated a link between ozone changes caused by human activities and changing UV levels at the Earth's surface, as well as a link to climate through changes in radiative forcing and links to changes in chemical composition. This book draws together key scientists who provide state of the art contributions on the variable ozone layer and the interplay of longwave and shortwave radiative interactions which link ozone, the climate and UV issues |
