The only single-source reference available on atmospheric chemistry, aerosols, and atmospheric models
This fully revised and expanded version of John H. Seinfeld’s successful Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics of Air Pollution provides a rigorous, comprehensive treatment of the chemistry of the atmosphere. With new chapters on such important topics as cloud physics, nucleation, and wet deposition, this book offers a truly up-to-date examination of atmospheric chemistry today, including:
* Chemistry of the stratosphere and troposphere
* Formation, growth, dynamics, thermodynamics, and properties of aerosols
* Meteorology of air pollution
* Transport, diffusion, and removal of species in the atmosphere
* Formation and chemistry of clouds
* Interaction of atmospheric chemistry and climate
* Radiative and climatic effects of gases and particles
* Formulation of mathematical chemical/transport models of the atmosphere.
Complete with solved examples, problems graded according to difficulty, and hundreds of illustrations, this state-of-the art reference is an ideal resource for both students and professionals in all areas of engineering as well as atmospheric science.
Summary: Too many typos
Rating: 2
It may be the so-called Bible of atmospheric science, but there are too many typos for my taste. Perhaps if you’re just trying to remember what the proper equation is, it’d work better.
Tables of values are frequently missing minus signs here and there, which can make working out the problems and/or examples difficult. There are other random typos that make examples simply not work out. If you just want the equations, this is ok, but for learning, it’s actually easier when the typos are in the equations (and not the numbers), since in that case there’s a “thought trail” of sorts.
The book claims to be the only reference, in which case you haven’t got much choice, but that doesn’t make it good.
Summary: The Bible
Rating: 5
As if this needs a review… its a bible for atomspheric scientists of all genre. A must have. Especially good for any grad student preparing for the random question during an oral exam. Not that you could read the thing cover to cover, but there is something for everyone.
If you need a great reference, then this is it. If you are not sure you should buy one of the best references for atomsopheric chemistry and physics, then there is no reason to. That’s just a sign that you probably don’t need it.
Summary: Everything you need to know about Atmospheric Science
Rating: 5
This book has it all. If you are in the field of atmospheric sciences, it is a muct have. If you’re not in the field, but are interested in learning about atmospheric science, I’d highly recommend it. It’s a technical book, with plenty of math, but it is written in an engaging, easy to read format. It’s packed with information on eveything from tropospheric ozone formation to industruial plume dispersion modeling. It has everything you need to know about atmospheric science.
