APES Atmosphere (study guide) - Shope

Considering the fact that everyone on A day has the test tomorrow (or rather, today, considering it's 12:06 AM), I don't think this will be very useful. But anyone who has it on B days?

I have a four-page study guide for the first test on Atmospheres... it has all the notes, the information from the book, and information from the AP book. The formatting doesn't work here, but if anyone reads this before you actually take the test... let me know and I'll happily e-mail it to you.

Good luck on the test!
