Atmospheric chemistry refers to a specific branch of atmospheric science and is involved in the study of the chemical characteristics of our planet and its atmosphere. The field is inter-disciplinary in nature and relies on topics that are very diverse and include:
- Chemistry
- Physics
- Meteorology
- Computer modeling
- Oceanography
- Geology
- Volcanology
Other fields of study including climatology are also increasingly being connected with the study of atmospheric chemistry. The composition as well as chemistry of our planet remains crucial to the success of our race for a wide variety of arguments. We humans have had a substantial affect on the atmosphere of our planet and have caused a lot of harm including those to the health of living things, crops and also importantly the ecosystems.
For the purpose of testing our understanding of atmosphere related chemistry we use complex computer-based models in research to get valuable information. These models are helpful in utilizing the different mathematical equations that describe the composition of our planet. |
