Description
This authoritative volume provides an in-depth analysis of spectroscopic techniques and photochemical processes occurring in the atmospheres and ionospheres of five major planetary bodies. Vladimir Krasnopolsky synthesizes observational data and theoretical models to explain the complex interactions between solar radiation and atmospheric constituents on Mars, Venus, Titan, Triton, and Pluto.
The book covers fundamental principles of spectroscopy and photochemistry, including absorption and emission processes, chemical reaction mechanisms, and the role of ultraviolet radiation in atmospheric chemistry. Each planetary atmosphere is examined individually, highlighting unique characteristics and environmental conditions.
Ideal for researchers, graduate students, and professionals in planetary science, astronomy, and atmospheric chemistry, this work serves as both a reference guide and educational resource for understanding how energy from the sun drives chemical transformations in distant planetary atmospheres.
