Atmospheric science is the study of Earth’s atmosphere and the complex processes that govern weather, climate, and air quality. It encompasses meteorology, climatology, and atmospheric chemistry and physics, aiming to understand phenomena like storms, heatwaves, greenhouse gas dynamics, and long-term climate change. Researchers in this field use satellite data, computer models, and field observations to track atmospheric patterns and predict future conditions. This page highlights cutting-edge research in atmospheric science, including insights into extreme weather, climate systems, and the ways human activity is altering the air we breathe and the climate we depend on.
