Theory of Planetary Atmospheres : an Introduction to Their Physics and Chemistry.
Our subject is, of course, nothing more than applied physics and chemistry. But in addition to those basic sciences the student of planetary atmospheres needs an overview of atmospheric structure and physical processes as presently understood. This book is intended to help fill that need for both gr...
