大气科学是对地球大气、天气和气候的研究。它处理天气预报以及控制风、云和风暴的动态、物理和化学过程。大气科学的研究提供机会调查天气和气候形成的力量，以及人类活动如何通过将污染物引入大气中来影响天气和气候。天气和气候计算机模式起着至关重要的作用。
Atmospheric Science is the study of the Earth\'s atmosphere, weather and climate. It deals with weather forecasting and with the dynamical, physical and chemical processes that control winds, clouds and storms. The study of atmospheric science offers the opportunity to investigate the forces that shape weather and climate and the ways in which human activities can affect our weather and climate through the introduction of pollutants into the atmosphere. Computer models of weather and climate play an essential role.
