Rafael Escribano (edicion) Affiliation: Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (España) Biography: Rafael Escribano and Isabel Tanarro are researchers at the Instituto de Estructura de la Materia of the Spanish Research Council, CSIC. They have many years’ experience in Molecular Spectroscopy and Plasma Physics, focused for the last 15 years in the study of systems of atmospheric and astrophysical relevance. They have published over a hundred contributions in peer-reviewed scientific journals and several book chapters on these subjects. In the course of their career, they have collaborated with outstanding scientists of many European and North American institutions, including of course Spanish universities and research centres, where high-level research in this field is currently being performed. For this book, Drs. Escribano and Tanarro have invited a group of well-known scientists from CSIC, INTA, and the Universities of Bologna, Lille, Vienna, Lisbon, Madrid (Complutense and Autónoma) and Castilla- La Mancha to present an ample set of contributions. These comprise introductions to the Atmosphere, Spectroscopy and Astronomy, and the methodology and the description of the techniques used in these fields, as well as up-to-date results on their own and related research. Also covered in the book are some exciting topics that attract large attention, both among scientists and the general public, such as the recent missions to comets, spectacular luminous events in the high atmosphere, or the controversial subjects of global warming and climate change.

Abstract:
Researchers Rafael Escribano and Isabel Tanarro have considerable experience in molecular spectroscopy and plasma physics, and over the past fifteen years have focused on the study systems of interest in atmospheric science and astrophysics. This book present a series of contributions from other leading researchers on the atmosphere, spectroscopy and astronomy, the methodology and description of techniques employed in these fields, and gives an update on the results of their own research. In short, this work includes a few issues of great interest to the scientific community and the public in general, as the recent missions to comets, episodes of spectacular lights in the upper atmosphere, or the controversial issue of global warming and climate change.
