Description On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the German Aerospace Center DLR , this book presents more than 50 chapters highlighting results of the institute's research. The book provides an up-to-date, in-depth survey across the entire field of atmospheric science, including atmospheric dynamics, radiation, cloud physics, chemistry, climate, numerical simulation, remote sensing, instruments and measurements, as well as atmospheric acoustics.
The authors have provided a readily comprehensible and self-contained presentation of the complex field of atmospheric science.

The topics are of direct relevance for aerospace science and technology. Future research challenges are identified. The Best Books of In the first section, the authors knowledgeably set out the status of research in atmospheric physics and chemistry. The composition of the atmosphere is described in one chapter, as are the scattering of light by air molecules, the greenhouse effect and the complex processes that occur in thunderstorms.
Results obtained and discoveries made at the Institute are frequently referred to in the individual subject areas. The second part of the book gives a multifaceted insight into the various measurement and simulation methods used at the Institute to gain a deeper understanding of the atmosphere and its processes.
Here, the reader learns about exciting techniques such as taking lightning measurements during storms or detecting ice particles in clouds from space. The Institute's broad competence in simulating atmospheric processes up to the scale of the Earth system is explained as well.
Atmospheric physics : background, methods, trends
These two subject areas open the third section of the book, which is about the scientific 'trends' in atmospheric research. The authors manage to describe the measurement of the ash cloud over Europe and the effects of shutting down almost the entire European air space in in a knowledgeable, gripping and generally understandable way.
The interesting insights given will be accessible to lay readers as well. Other current hot topics affecting society are discussed as well.
The impact of aviation and surface transport on global climate is covered, as is the future development of the ozone layer.
