Resources for teaching and learning atmospheric chemistry

CHED 1454

Resources and data have been made available on the World Wide Web to teach and learn atmospheric chemistry. This talk focuses on resources provided and/or organized by the author to enable and encourage calculations of the rates of chemical reactions in the atmosphere. These include spreadsheets for:

- calculating photolysis rates

- calculating rates of pressure-dependent reactions as a function of altitude

Charts and tables (in Excel format) are provided with absorption cross-sections of NOx reservoirs, CFCs, and related compounds. Links are provided to sources of data on kinetics, absorption cross-section, and quantum yields for photolysis. Resources and links are provided at http://www.esf.edu/chemistry/dibble/AtmosChemCalc.htm.
