Conference Location and Date: Rolla, Missouri, 6-11 August 2000

Subseries: None

Published ; ISBN 1-56396-958-0, One Volume, Print; 926 pages; 6 3/8 x 9 1/4 inches;

Readership: Physicists, chemists and engineers at universities and in private and federal research laboratories. The proceedings should be particularly useful to graduate students and those teaching atmospheric science.

Conference attendees from about 30 countries met to present research results and discuss current issues in the fields of topospheric and stratospheric aerosols and nucleation phenomena. Specifically addressed are aerosol and nucleation mechanisms affecting ice formation, cloud droplet formation and growth, aerosol-cloud interactions, and aerosol-related global warming and ozone depletion mechanisms, as well as acid rain production and pollution of the earth's atmosphere. The nucleation symposium part of this conference addresses all theoretical and experimental aspects of single- and multi-component nucleation, ion-induced nucleation, and heterogeneous nucleation involving foreign particulates. The conference attracts leading scientists in the aerosol and nucleation communities, and the Proceedings provides a technical summary of the current status of research. This volume will be of interest to students, researchers, and technically trained readers hoping to gain an understanding of how aerosols and nucleation phenomena affect the earth's atmosphere.
