The study of the Earth's atmosphere, including its composition, structure, and how it interacts with the environment.

Earth's Atmosphere: An overview of Earth's atmosphere and its composition, structure, and dynamics.
Atmospheric Chemistry: The study of chemical reactions occurring in the atmosphere and their impact on weather, climate, and air quality.
Meteorology: The study of the atmosphere's physical properties, including temperature, pressure, humidity, and winds, and the relationship between these properties and weather.
Climate Science: The study of long-term patterns and changes in the Earth's climate system, including the factors contributing to climate change.
Weather Forecasting and Modeling: The development and use of mathematical and computer models to predict weather patterns and events.
Planetary Atmospheres: The study of the atmospheres of other planets, including their composition, structure, and dynamics.
Ozone Depletion: The study of the depletion of the Earth's ozone layer and its impact on the environment and human health.
Air Pollution: The study of the sources and effects of air pollution on the environment and human health.
Remote Sensing: The use of satellite and other technologies to gather information about the Earth's atmosphere and its properties.
Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation: Strategies and policies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and preparing for the impacts of climate change.
Planetary Atmospheres: Study of atmosphere composition, dynamics, and evolution of planets and moons in our solar system and beyond.
Astrochemistry: The study of the chemistry of the Universe and its celestial bodies, including the formation and evolution of molecules in space and their interaction with cosmic radiation.
Astrobiology: An interdisciplinary field that looks at the origins, distribution, and evolution of life in the Universe, often involving the study of planetary atmospheres.
Exoplanetary Atmospheres: Study of the atmospheres of planets orbiting stars outside our solar system, often using techniques such as transit spectroscopy to detect the composition of the atmosphere.
Atmospheric Physics: The study of the physical processes that occur in the Earth's atmosphere, including radiation, thermodynamics, and fluid dynamics.
Climatology: Study of long-term patterns of atmospheric conditions, including temperature, precipitation, and atmospheric circulation, as well as their causes and effects.
Aeronomy: The study of the upper atmosphere and its interaction with the sun and space environment, often focusing on ionization and the Earth's ionosphere.
"Atmospheric science is the study of the Earth's atmosphere and its various inner-working physical processes."
"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, 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."
