Description du livre
A timely and current discussion of instrumental techniques in atmospheric sciences
In Spectroscopic and Microscopic Techniques in Atmospheric Sciences, a team of distinguished researchers delivers an authoritative and up-to-date discussion of the latest developments in sophisticated analytical techniques and their applications in atmospheric sciences, including chemical identification and characterization, determination of reaction mechanisms and kinetics, and qualitative and quantitative analysis.
Each chapter presents the development of a different analytical method from first principles and highlights the major developments in the technique to date. The book also covers the weaknesses and strengths of each technique and the suitability of its applications in indicated environmental media.
Readers will also find: A thorough introduction to relevant atmospheric processesComprehensive explorations of mass spectrometry and optical, electron, and atomic force microscopyPractical discussions of fluorescence spectroscopy and ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopyComplete treatments of infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy
Perfect for graduate students undertaking courses in atmospheric sciences, Spectroscopic and Microscopic Techniques in Atmospheric Sciences will also benefit environmental chemists, climatologists, and analytical chemists.
