Rachel Pike: The science...
But despite its very small weight, enough of it is emitted into the atmosphere every year to equal the weight of all the people on the planet. It's a huge amount of stuff. It's equal to the weight of methane. And because it's so much stuff, it's really important for the atmospheric system. Because it's important to the atmospheric system,

Scientifically this is one of the most important images that we took with the Opportunity vehicle. It was the first time ever remotely with a robotic vehicle that we took an image on the surface at the exact same time we took the image from orbit. So, now we can actually do atmospheric science

scientists all around the world have been galvanized when they've really taken on this ocean acidification problem these are marine chemists out there measuring the parameters that determine ocean acidification and what they've found is that the top line here is the atmospheric co2 you reckon

Why the Arctic is...
The reduced temperature differences between the two regions may lead to slower jet stream winds and less linear atmospheric circulation in the middle latitudes, where most of the world's population lives. Many scientists are concerned that shifts in weather patterns

But wait. Maybe we should ask a different question first. Should we try to find out if we're alone in the universe? If we do find the atmospheric fingerprints of life on one of these small, distant worlds, should we try to contact any beings who may live there?

is 20 times atmospheric pressure the temperature is within a few degrees of freezing and we're far beyond the reach of the sunshine so you might think in such a hostile environment there would be very few animals living but watch this

to stop undesirable processes or make helpful substances. An example of an unwanted process is what happens when our bodies are exposed to ionizing radiation. Without an atmospheric barrier and a magnetic field like Earth's,

clouds became easier to understand as the visible signs of otherwise invisible atmospheric processes. Clouds write a kind of journal on the sky that allows us to understand the circulating patterns of weather and climate.

What do fans of atmospheric post-punk music have in common with ancient barbarians? Not much. So why are both known as goths? Is it a weird coincidence or a deeper connection stretching across the centuries?

Burt Rutan
American Scientist
I drove an electric car for seven years because of its advanced technology, not because I have any concerns about energy resources. I have none at all. And when environmentalists say that global warming is dangerous, unprecedented and that we'll have a tipping point for atmospheric carbon dioxide, it's just nonsense.
Quote examples
Stephen J. Dubner
American Journalist
If the world gets a lot hotter in a hurry and the primary aim is to cool it down, then the current plan of carbon mitigation will almost certainly not be effective. It'll be too little, too late, and too optimistic - in large part because the atmospheric half-life of CO2 is roughly 100 years.
Quote examples
Steve Carell
American Actor
In an enclosed space, a camel's breath can change the atmosphere of the room. Not only just the smell, they literally seem to change the atmospheric pressure. It's so disgusting. It's like they have eight stomachs each more rancid then the next and it just comes out of their mouth.
Quote examples
James Buchan
British Novelist
The prevailing ideology of the modern west - which is political economy - is in the doghouse. Having failed to notice atmospheric pollution, the economists then frightened themselves with the sort of financial crisis they said they had abolished.
Quote examples
Jose Feliciano
Puerto Rican Musician
When I did the national anthem, I did a soulful, kind of gospel-y version, but it was controversial with the war veterans, just the people who wanted to hear it the old, clinical, atmospheric way, and I didn't want to sing it like that.
Quote examples
James Hansen
American Scientist
Coal is responsible for as much atmospheric carbon dioxide as other fossil fuels combined and it still has far greater reserves. We must stop using it.
Quote examples
Heidi Hammel
American Scientist
Neptune's unusual behavior is showing us that though we can make great models of planetary atmospheric circulation, there may be key pieces missing.
Quote examples
Rakesh Sharma
Indian Astronaut
Stars appear as pin-points of light. They don't twinkle there as they do when we see them from earth because the atmospheric blanket is not there.

Joseph Kanon
American Author
I think most writers' houses are disappointing. What's much more atmospheric and interesting are the places they wrote about.

I do love a good atmospheric soundtrack, me.
