The 2009 University of Toronto Noble Lectures
The Physics of Atmospheric Gas Measurements
April 27 - May 1, 2009
The lectures present the underlying physics issues that have had to be
addressed in order to successfully make quantitative atmospheric
measurements, particularly when absorption and emission signatures are
very small components of the spectroscopic signature, in the face of
significant spectroscopic and scattering interferences.
