	EnviroEducation.com - Environmental Majors and Programs - Atmospheric Sciences
		Atmospheric Science is the study of the atmosphere, including the physical processes of the atmosphere, and the atmosphere's interaction with the earth's land and oceans.
		The main sub-disciplines of Atmospheric Science are meteorology and climatology, and professionals use numerical computer models of the local or global airflow to guide weather prediction and storm forecasting and aid in understanding environmental conditions such as air pollution.
		Atmospheric Science students can expect to study of many disciplines, including biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics, and applied fields such as computer science, electrical engineering, environmental engineering, hydrology, and optics.

		The broader term "atmospheric science" often is used to describe the combination of meteorology and other branches of physical science that are involved in studying the atmosphere.
		Atmospheric scientists are working to assess the threat of global warming by collecting and analyzing past and present data on worldwide temperature trends.
		While most atmospheric scientists doubt that the drought of 1988 marked the beginning of long-term global warming, some are looking closely at the causes of droughts and their impacts on agriculture.

	Atmospheric sciences - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Atmospheric sciences is an umbrella term for the study of the atmosphere, its processes, the effects other systems have on the atmosphere, and the effects of the atmosphere on these other systems.
		Climatology is the study of atmospheric changes (both long and short-term) that define average climates and their change over time, due to both natural climate variability and anthropogenic climate variability or global warming.
		Atmospheric science has been extended to the field of planetary science and the study of the atmospheres of the planets of the solar system.

	Atmospheric scientists
		Atmospheric science is the study of the atmosphere—the blanket of air covering the Earth.
		A bachelor’s degree in meteorology or atmospheric science, or in a closely related field with courses in meteorology, usually is the minimum educational requirement for an entry-level position as an atmospheric scientist.
		For example, hydrometeorology is the blending of hydrology (the science of Earth’s water) and meteorology, and is the field concerned with the effect of precipitation on the hydrologic cycle and the environment.

	Atmospheric Sciences Research Group Home Page
		One of the nice tradeoffs about having to endure such long cold winters in interior Alaska is being able to regularly observe optical phenomena such as halos, arcs, pillars and sundogs.
		These phenomena sometimes form in cirrus clouds high in the atmosphere, but they can also be generated by gently falling ice crystals, also known as “diamond-dust”, that nucleate out on clear cold humid days near the surface.
		It is most often observed in alto-cumulus or lenticular clouds but the most spectacular displays occur in rare nacreous (mother-of-pearl) clouds which form in the stratosphere in the high latitudes.
