	Atmospheric physics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Atmospheric physics is the application of physics to the study of the atmosphere.
		Atmospheric physicists attempt to model Earth's atmosphere and the atmospheres of the other planets using fluid flow equations, chemical models, radiation balancing, and energy transfer processes in the atmosphere (as well as how these tie in to other systems such as the oceans).
		In order to model weather systems, atmospheric physicists employ elements of scattering theory, wave propagation models, cloud physics, statistical mechanics and spatial statistics which are highly mathematical and related to physics.

	Atmospheric chemistry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Atmospheric chemistry is a branch of atmospheric science in which the chemistry of the Earth's atmosphere and that of other planets is studied.
		Atmospheric chemistry seeks to understand the causes of these problems, and by obtaining a theoretical understanding of them, allow possible solutions to be tested and the effects of changes in government policy evaluated.
		Instead of concentrating on atmospheric chemistry in isolation the focus is now on seeing it as one part of a single system with the rest of the atmosphere, biosphere and geosphere.

	Atmospheric Turbulence Measurements and Modeling (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Atmospheric turbulence is a ubiquitous phenomenon in the free atmosphere (i.e., the troposphere and stratosphere).
		Both are fundamentally important to understanding and modeling the basic physics of turbulence and the resulting atmospheric structure-specifically, the narrow intermittent layers and their relationship to atmospheric and meteorological conditions such as mountains, jet streams, fronts, and gravity waves sources.
		One of the areas of emphasis is the study of the generation of gravity waves, their propagation and breakdown into turbulence, and their relationship to sources and meteorology and the resulting atmospheric structure.
