The Atmosphere

This volume covers topics related to the atmosphere, and exchanges with the land, biota, oceans, and solid earth. The emphasis is on global climate and global chemical budgets, as well as with other reservoirs. The topics have long histories, related to the global climate change.

1. Oxidative capacity, ozone source / sinks, constraints on OH abundance (RG Prinn).
2. Geochemistry of reactive nitrogen species.
3. Geochemistry of atmospheric methane (WS Reeburgh).
4. Tropospheric halogen chemistry (PJ Crutzen, R. von Glasow).
5. Non-mass based isotopic fractionation: mechanisms and applications (MH Thiemens).
6. Isotopic composition of atmospheric CO2 and O2 (D. Yakir).
7. Radiocarbon (WS Broecker).
8. Atmospheric water isotopes (J. Jouzel).
9. Aerosol chemistry.
10. Tropospheric aerosol composition and properties (PR Buseck, SE Schwartz).
11. Biomass burning (JS Levine).
12. Tracers of atmospheric circulation (M. Heimann).
13. Atmospheric radionuclides other than 14C (KK Turekian, WC Graustein).
14. Chemistry of the stratospheric ozone layer (JM Rodríguez).
15. Stratosphere-troposphere exchange (KA Boering).
16. Planetary degassing (DR Porcelli, KK Turekian).
