The oceans and atmosphere interact through various processes, including the transfer of momentum, heat, gases and particles. In this book leading international experts come together to provide a state-of-the-art account of these exchanges and their role in the Earth-system, with particular focus on gases and particles.  Chapters in the book cover: i) the ocean-atmosphere exchange of short-lived trace gases; ii) mechanisms and models of interfacial exchange (including transfer velocity parameterisations); iii) ocean-atmosphere exchange of the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide; iv) ocean atmosphere exchange of particles and v) current and future data collection and synthesis efforts. The scope of the book extends to the biogeochemical responses to emitted / deposited material and interactions and feedbacks in the wider Earth-system context.

COST Action 722 is a consortium of scientists from twenty-two Institutions in fifteen countries, coordinating their national research on forecasting methods of fog, visibility and low cloud. The main objective of the Cost Action 722 is to develop advanced methods for very short-range forecasts of fog, visibility and low clouds, adapted to characteristic areas and to user requirements.

Working Group Meeting.

This volume presents the main theoretical findings and research results of a working group of COST Action A20. This group, entitled Television and Film has focused its investigation on the processes of digitisation regarding both the impact of internet and the web, and the innovation of traditional media. This book tries to answer the question: How is digitisation changing the television medium? The aim is to identify paradigms useful for a policy of innovation in the television field. Particularly: How to deal with the question of power in the management of media? How to exploit and mould our current knowledge in the field of the diffusion of innovation? What can or must be the role of the public service in the envisaged scenarios? And how can we conceive television audiences of the future to be? The book presents also some comparative, cross-country studies, aimed at showing differences and recurrences in the various European countries.
