Glossary of atmospheric chemistry

Project No.:	2003-030-1-600
Start date:	2004-02-01
End date:	2007-12-01
Division:	Chemistry and the Environment Division

Prepare a glossary along the recommendations given by the ISO and ICTNS.

A comprehensive Glossary of Terms pertinent to atmospheric chemistry was prepared and reviewed and published by IUPAC more than a decade ago (Calvert, Pure Appl. Chem., 62(11), pp.2167-2219, 1990). This activity will update that glossary to include terms that have become important subsequent to publication of that document (as well as omissions) and as necessary amend or elaborate previously presented definitions. Widely used or generally accepted acronyms will also be included. Review and resolution of conflicts will be by Division on Chemistry and the Environment in the first instance followed by ICTNS.

The 1990 version is available and comments from the interested atmospheric chemistry community are invited.
