Gelencser A. Carbonaceous Aerosol

Atmospheric and Oceanographic Sciences Library, vol. 30. Springer, Berlin, New York, 2005, 356 pp. - ISBN: 1-4020-2886-5
Recently there has been heightening scientific interest in carbonaceous aerosol which has been shown to be important in inadvertent climate modification yet it is poorly understood. In particular, carbonaceous aerosol was started to be viewed from a global perspective just barely more than a decade ago, and there are still many conflicting views in the field even regarding basic nomenclature and methodology. Despite of its atmospheric significance, only a handful of summary works have been published on some parts of the subject so far, in the form of book chapters or review papers. This monograph is the first attempt to condense all major aspects of carbonaceous aerosol chemistry and its atmospheric effects into a single volume.Acknowledgements.Methods of Observation of Carbonaceous Aerosol.
