Huffman R.E. Atmospheric Ultraviolet Remote Sensing

International Geophysics Series, 1992, Volume 52. Academic Press, New York, London, 1992. – 317 pp.
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 apphcations. 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.
The ultraviolet has become more important to our life on Earth recently. Ultraviolet methods are used, both from space and from the ground, to monitor ozone in the atmosphere and its possible changes. The solar UV-B radiation reaching the Earth may well be increasing, bringing with it hazards to human health and the biosphere in general.The UV-What, Where, and Why
