This textbook describes various physical radiative dynamical and chemical processes involved
in the coupling between the Stratosphere and Troposphere. This textbook is intended for
graduate students in middle atmosphere stratospheric physics dynamic and atmospheric science
courses and will be useful to all research workers in meteorology aeronomy atmospheric
physics atmospheric chemistry and environmental sciences. Current areas of interest such as
Antarctic ozone hole global warming effects on stratospheric cooling are also addressed.
Stratosphere troposphere exchange transport processes in the upper troposphere and lower
stratosphere and the role of stratosphere on tropospheric weather systems are presented. The
information provided in the textbook will have broad applicability in other branches of
atmospheric science and will be of interest to those studying such areas as climate change
extreme weather events and potential for the prediction of tropospheric weather systems. A
comprehensive stratosphere troposphere coupling textbook Highly illustrated with diagrams and
figures Includes latest developments and provides problem sets A valuable reference for all
atmospheric scientists 2008 ASLI Choice Award ! Springer is proud to announce that Stratosphere
