Atmospheric Science

The Earth’s atmosphere is a very complex physical and chemical system. Various compounds behave radically differently depending their altitude and climactic conditions. Understanding the atmospheric processes such as the behavior of aerosols and other particulates, ozone, and greenhouse gases, under various conditions is essential for understanding the mechanisms of climate change and building accurate climate models.
