Summary:Provides an integrated perspective on the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere that creates a unified vision of atmospheric phenomena. The 27 review articles and research papers discuss chemistry, energetics, dynamics, long term changes, new experiments, and new models relevant to both atmospheric science and space science. Topics include the role of equatorial waves in the semiannual oscillation of the middle atmosphere, optical evidence of energy transport across the stratopause, ground-based microwave observations of middle atmospheric water vapor in the 1990s, and nighttime O2 and O3 profiles measured by MSX/UVISI using stellar occultation techniques.
