EDITORIAL REVIEWS

Product Description
Chemistry and Physics of Stratospheric Ozone will provide an in-depth account of chemical and physical properties of stratospheric ozone, which will be valuable to a wide audience.
The research of the last decade has produced as many arguments as answers, and the author provides a good account of both the accepted and provocative resolutions.

* Focuses on the important aspects of stratospheric ozone that are needed to understand most of the literature
* Provides extensive discussion of the natural and human-induced changes to the "ozone layer"
* Includes homework problems at the end of each chapter


CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 5.0 based on 1 review)

Excellent general book on stratospheric chemistry  
This is an excellent book on stratospheric chemistry and transport. It reads much more quickly than the denser "Scientific Assessment of Ozone Depletion" reports issued by the WMO, but it still includes all the important details. Even though it specializes in stratospheric chemistry, many of the concepts can be applied to tropospheric chemistry as well. Highly recommended.
