Atmospheric sciences is a branch of environmental science that focuses on the study of the Earth's atmosphere, including its composition, dynamics, and interactions with other Earth systems. Researchers in atmospheric sciences study various processes such as weather patterns, climate change, air quality, and the behavior of pollutants and greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. They use a combination of field observations, laboratory experiments, and computer models to investigate how the atmosphere influences and is influenced by factors such as ocean currents, solar radiation, and human activities. Ultimately, the goal of atmospheric sciences research is to better understand and predict changes in the Earth's atmosphere in order to mitigate the impacts of climate change and other environmental challenges.
