The Upper Atmosphere Data Analysis and Interpretation

The Upper Atmosphere Data Analysis and Interpretation / edited by Walter Dieminger, Gerd K. Hartmann, Reinhart Leitinger.

Especially due to the increasing environmental problems there is a need to collect as many data as possible in the upper atmosphere. This book serves as a general multidisciplinary guide and introduction for a more effective use of the large amount of now available data from the Earth's atmosph...
