Synopsis:
This book is an introduction to the use of the ultraviolet for remote sensing of the Earth's atmosphere. It covers the Earth's UV radiative environment, experimental techniques, and current applications. it is my intention to provide the information needed to "make a first approximation" concerning the use of the ultraviolet and to provide access through the literature for a more thorough study.
* Contains recent UV applications not previously available in book form such as ozone, auroral images, and ionospheric sensing* Features broad coverage of fundamentals of atmospheric geophysics with values for fluxes, cross-sections, and radiances* Covers techniques that illustrate principles of measurements with typical values* Contains numerous references to original literature
From the Back Cover:
Here is an interdisciplinary introduction to some of the key techniques and applications of the ultraviolet wavelength region. Ultraviolet methods are used in important applications such as:
* atmospheric ozone measurement,
* global auroral imaging, and
* ionospheric monitoring.
Ultraviolet measurements are used to monitor atmospheric ozone depletion and are essential to the development of global space weather systems.
In addition to providing the necessary fundametals for the effective use of the ultraviolet, this unique book also contains extensive references that lead readers to sources for more thorough investigation. The book is an essential reference for all those interested in ultraviolet remote sensing, ultraviolet astronomy, laboratory spectroscopy, lidar applications, and related fields.
