Guide for Atmospheric Science
Atmospheric Sciences: The atmospheric sciences
are traditionally divided into three topical areas: meteorology, climatology,
and aeronomy. Meteorology is the study of the daily or even hourly changes
in weather within the troposphere and lower stratosphere. Climatology, by
contrast, focuses on statistical descriptions of the weather in the same
layers of the atmosphere over longer periods of time ranging from a month
to millions of years. Aeronomy is concerned with the physical state and dominant
processes of the upper atmosphere, i.e., those regions above the lower stratosphere.
