Market: Students and researchers in geophysics, astronomy, and astrophysics. This book reports on the timely Earth Observing System (EOS) Program's wide range of scientific investigations, observational capabilities, vast data and information system, and educational activities. Because its primary goal is to determine the extent, causes, and regional consequences of global climate change, this program provides the scientific knowledge needed by world leaders to formulate sound and equitable environmental policies.

Contents: Clouds, Radiation, Water Vapor, and Precipitation. Oceans: Circulation, Productivity, and Air-sea Exchange. Greenhouse Gases and Tropospheric Chemistry. Land Surface: Ecosystems and Hydrology. Ice Sheets, Polar and Alpine Glaciers, and Seasonal Snow. Ozone and Stratospheric Chemistry. Volcanoes, Dust Storms, and Climate Change. An Overview of International Earth-observing Capabilities--Planned and Present. Assessing the Impact of Climate Change.
