Browsing: Atmospheric Science
Atmospheric science is a field that studies the Earth’s atmosphere, its processes, and its interaction with the environment and living organisms. This discipline encompasses meteorology, climatology, and other specialized areas such as atmospheric chemistry and atmospheric physics. Scientists in this field investigate weather patterns, atmospheric conditions, climate change, and phenomena such as clouds, aerosols, and precipitation. Using tools like weather balloons, radar, satellites, and computer models, atmospheric scientists aim to understand and predict weather and climate trends, which are crucial for agriculture, disaster management, and addressing environmental challenges. Their research helps inform public safety measures and policy decisions related to air quality and climate mitigation.
