Description
Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 3.This volume presents a group of papers and an extensive discussion held at the Robert A. Taft Sanitary Engineering Center, Cincinnati, Ohio, on November 4-6, 1957. The date is memorable, since the sessions began on the morning after the launching of the Russians' second Sputnik. The meeting was convened by the Committee on Atmospheric Chemistry, Section of Meteorology, American Geophysical Union. It was jointly sponsored by the American Geophysical Union and the U.S. Public Health Service, with funds for the travel of the foreign attendees, and for the publication of this volume, provided by the National Science Foundation.
