The Physics of the Stratosphere, (Paperback)

Originally published in 1958 as part of the Cambridge Monographs on Physics series, this book was intended to give physicists an introduction to an aspect of atmospheric physics. Goody gives an overview of the history of the study of the stratosphere, and outlines its chemical composition and its role in Earth's weather. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the history of the study of the atmosphere or in geophysics more generally.
