Climate change is a major challenge facing modern society. The chemistry of air and its influence on the climate system forms the main focus of this book. Vol. 1 of Chemistry of the Climate System provides the reader with a physicochemical understanding of atmospheric processes. The chemical substances and reactions found in the Earth’s atmosphere are presented along with their influence on the global climate system. A chemical approach to global climate change New in the 3rd Edition: additional chapters on the global water cycle and solar radiation For researchers, students and those interested in chemistry, environmental science, meteorology, geology, ecology
