"The editors of this volume have produced a comprehensive, state-of-the-art reference on spectroscopic atmospheric monitoring. The book should interest graduate students and scientists in the physical sciences, including optical metrology. Beyond introducing current trends and future perspectives, this book provides the readership with broad coverage on atmospheric-trace-gas measurements through laser heterodyne spectroscopy and photoacoustic spectroscopy for gas sensing. Furthermore, advanced measurement technologies via unmanned aerial vehicles, balloon-borne and other airborne platforms are discussed. Readers interested in aerosol optical properties will find a detailed treatment on spectroscopic techniques and light absorption on black carbon and mineral dust. Greenhouse gases and reactive gases are well covered in the context of measurement techniques via cavity ring-down spectroscopy. The development of atmospheric flux measurements, which include large-scale atmospheric flux dynamics for greenhouse gases, may include additional remote-sensing capabilities in the future." --Optics and Photonics News
Advances in Spectroscopic Monitoring of the Atmosphere provides a comprehensive overview of cutting-edge technologies and monitoring applications. Concepts are illustrated by numerous examples with information on spectroscopic techniques and applications widely distributed throughout the text. This information is important for researchers to gain an overview of recent developments in the field and make informed selections among the most suitable techniques. This volume also provides information that will allow researchers to explore implementing and developing new diagnostic tools or new approaches for trace gas and aerosol sensing themselves. Advances in Spectroscopic Monitoring of the Atmosphere covers advanced and newly emerging spectroscopic techniques for optical metrology of gases and particles in the atmosphere. This book will be a valuable reference for atmospheric scientists, including those whose focus is applying the methods to atmospheric studies, and those who develop instrumentation. It will also serve as a useful introduction to researchers entering the field and provide relevant examples to researchers and students developing and applying optical sensors for a variety of other scientific, technical, and industrial uses.
