- "Atmospheric science is the study of the Earth's atmosphere and its various inner-working physical processes."
The study of Earth's atmosphere, including weather, climate, and air quality.
Atmospheric Composition: The study of the chemical and physical properties of gases, aerosols, and other materials in the Earth's atmosphere and their interactions with each other.
Atmospheric Dynamics: The study of the physical laws and processes that govern the behavior of the Earth's atmosphere on a wide range of spatial and temporal scales.
Atmospheric Thermodynamics: The branch of atmospheric science that deals with the relationships between temperature, pressure, and other properties of gases and their effects on weather and climate.
Cloud Physics: The study of the formation, structure, and properties of clouds, including their role in weather and climate, the water cycle, and atmospheric radiation.
Climate Science: The study of the long-term patterns and trends of Earth's climate and how they are influenced by natural and human factors, including greenhouse gases, air pollution, and land use changes.
Meteorology: The study of the physical processes that govern weather, including the formation and movement of air masses, clouds, precipitation, and severe weather events such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and thunderstorms.
Air Pollution: The study of the sources, distribution, and effects of harmful substances in the atmosphere, including gases, particles, and organic compounds from human activities and natural sources.
Atmospheric Modeling: The development and use of computer-based models to simulate the behavior of the Earth's atmosphere, including its interactions with the oceans, land, and biosphere.
Atmospheric Composition: Study of the gases and particles that make up the Earth's atmosphere, their sources, and how they interact with each other.
Meteorology: Study of weather patterns and how they develop, including observation and prediction methods.
Climate Science: Study of the long-term patterns and trends of weather and climate, including factors that influence climate change.
Atmospheric Dynamics: Study of how the Earth's atmosphere moves, its circulation patterns, and related phenomena such as turbulence and air masses.
Atmospheric Physics: Study of the physical processes that occur in the Earth's atmosphere, such as radiation, heat transfer, and precipitation.
Atmospheric Chemistry: Study of the chemical processes that take place in the Earth's atmosphere, including reactions between pollutants and natural substances.
Air Pollution: Study of the negative effects of human-made pollutants on the Earth's atmosphere and their impact on human health and the environment.
Remote Sensing: The study of the Earth's atmosphere and related phenomena through the use of satellite, radar, and other remote sensing technologies.
Weather Forecasting: The process of predicting weather patterns and phenomena using various methods and tools, including numerical models and observation data.
Climate Modeling: The process of using computer models to simulate the Earth's climate and predict future changes.
Tropospheric Chemistry: Study of the chemical reactions that occur in the Earth's troposphere.
Stratospheric Chemistry: Study of the chemical reactions that occur in the Earth's stratosphere, including the formation and depletion of the ozone layer.
Radiation and Climate: Study of the interactions between solar and Earth's radiation and how they affect the Earth's climate.
- "Meteorology includes atmospheric chemistry and atmospheric physics with a major focus on weather forecasting."
- "Climatology is the study of atmospheric changes (both long and short-term) that define average climates and their change over time."
- "Atmospheric changes... define average climates and their change over time, due to both natural and anthropogenic climate variability."
- "Aeronomy is the study of the upper layers of the atmosphere, where dissociation and ionization are important."
- "Atmospheric science has been extended to the field of planetary science and the study of the atmospheres of the planets and natural satellites of the Solar System."
- "Experimental instruments used in atmospheric science include satellites, rocketsondes, radiosondes, weather balloons, radars, and lasers."
- "The term aerology is sometimes used as an alternative term for the study of Earth's atmosphere."
- "In other definitions, aerology is restricted to the free atmosphere, the region above the planetary boundary layer."
- "Early pioneers in the field include Léon Teisserenc de Bort and Richard Assmann."
