Hence, understanding the Earth's atmosphere is a vital component in Man's emerging quest for developing sustainable modes of behaviour in the 21st century. Written by a team of expert scientists, the Handbook of Atmospheric Science provides a broad and up-to-date account of our understanding of the natural processes that occur within the atmosphere. It examines how Man's activities have had a detrimental effect on the climate, and how mea 606 $aAtmospheric physics$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 615 0$aAtmospheric physics 676 $a551.5 676 $a551.51 701 $aHewitt$b C.
