These proceedings describe the current state-of-the-art of ozone research. A wide range of topics is discussed including: emissions, transport and transformation of precursors of ozone and of ozone itself, the distribution of ozone, the deposition of ozone at the earth's surface, and its effects on man and the environment. Attention is also given to the role of stratospheric ozone and the role of the ultraviolet radiation which is transmitted through the ozone layer. Finally it describes in detail present and future policy measures to reduce the ozone in the lower atmosphere and to protect the ozone layer in the stratosphere. Many of the papers describe recent developments and new research results. Research carried out in both in Europe and in the United States is described, as are the policy measures which are being taken by both European and U.S. governments.

Zum ersten Male erscheint mit diesem Handbuch eine umfassende wissenschaftliche Darstellung zu Fragen des Klimas und der Lufthygiene in der Stadt. Es soll dem Meteorologen, Stadtplaner, Umweltingenieur, Geographen oder Ökologen bei der Analyse und Bewertung der städtischen Umwelt in der alltäglichen Praxis eine schnelle Orientierung ermöglichen und damit seine Entscheidungen absichern. Verschiedene Autoren haben - mit der Beratung durch einen VDI-Ausschuß - u.a. die Themen Luftströmung in der Stadt, Städtische Wärmeinsel, Emissionen und Immissionen in Städten und ihre Entwicklung, Luft- und Klimameßnetze, Klima- und Ausbreitungsmodelle, Wirkungen von Luftverunreinigungen und Grenzwerte, Bio- und Gebäudeklima behandelt. Jedes Kapitel enthält Hinweise für die Umsetzung der Erkenntnisse in planerisches Handeln

The subject of the book, considering the study of the interactions between atmospheric forces, water masses, and living resources in the Southern Oceans, is not only of scientific interest but also of practical importance, especially for the management of the resources and the protection of the Antarctic marine ecosystem. What is known on the variability in the Antarctic ocean circulation and what are possible causes for such variations? To what extent and how does this variability influence primary productivity, zooplankton, and in particular, the distribution and abundance of krill? What are the subsequent effects on krill predators, such as seals, penguins, fishes and squid? The book reviews present knowledge and encourages further work in this field
