Abstract
Climate change, stratospheric ozone depletion, tropospheric ozone enhancement, and air pollution have become topics of major concerns and made their way from the scientific community to the general public as well as to policy, finance, and economy (Solomon et al., 2007). In addition to these atmospheric changes related to human activities, natural events such as volcanic eruptions or biomass burning have a significant impact on the atmosphere, while the demands and expections on weather forecasting are steadily increasing (Chahine et al., 2006). Furthermore, the discovery of extrasolar planets with the possibility of hosting life (Des Marais et al., 2002) has brought a new momentum to the subject of planetary atmospheres.
