Inverse Problems in Atmospheric Constituent Transport

Informationen zum Autor Ian Enting is a senior principal research scientist at CSIRO Atmospheric Research, Aspendale, Victoria, Australia where he heads the greenhouse gas modelling team. Zusammenfassung This book describes mathematical techniques for interpreting measurements of greenhouse gases in order to learn about their sources and sinks. It is aimed at researchers and graduate students embarking upon studies in this area. Established researchers will also find its extensive referencing invaluable. Inhaltsverzeichnis Part I.
