| Contents Notes |
The extent to which weather and climate are being inadvertently modified by large-scale human activities is a matter which is arousing much-deserved concern. It is also a matter about which very little quantitative information exists. For the past several years, the Atmospheric Physics and Chemistry Laboratory has concentrated a substantial share of its modest resources on the instigation of a program of data collection and analysis which has the objective of providing accurate and quantitative facts on: (a) the amounts of anthropogenic contaminants in the atmosphere; (b) the interaction of these contaminants with the natural atmospheric constituents; and (c) the changes in weather and climate resulting from the physical and chemical effects of the contaminants. |
