Ozone depletion in the stratosphere and increases in greenhouse gases in the troposphere are both subjects of growing concern - even alarm - among scientists, policy makers, and the public. At the same time, recent data show that these atmospheric developments are interconnected and in turn profoundly affect climatic conditions. To arrive at a better understanding of this complex relationship, major institutions in the field of atmospheric study convened a symposium of noted researchers. In the volume, they present the results of their most recent research, with the most up-to-date data and theories available on ozone depletion, greenhouse gases, and climatic change.
