Introduction to Atmospheric Chemistry, 2nd edition
by Daniel J. Jacob, Harvard University
This is the second edition of my Introduction to Atmospheric Chemistry textbook. It covers the fundamentals of the field at a level suitable for undergraduates in science and engineering, The chapters are password-protected and I will give the password to instructors upon email request. My Lecture slides in atmospheric chemistry follow the individual chapters of the book and serve as a useful complement.
The manuscript is presently under review at Princeton University Press. The current draft was completed in July 2024 and any subsequent edits are only to correct typos or add points of clarifications suggested by readers.
