Project

Chemistry and the Environment Division (VI)

 

Number: 2003-030-1-600 (supersede 1999-033-1-600)

Title: Glossary of atmospheric chemistry

Task Group
Chairman:
T. Cvitas

Members:
J.G. Calvert, L. Klasinc, and T.M. Tavares

Completion Date: 2007 - project abandoned

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

Description:
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.

This project was presented at a poster session at the IUPAC Congress/GA July 2005
