Planetary atmospheres is a relatively new, interdisciplinary
subject that incorporates various areas of the physical and
chemical sciences, including geophysics, geophysical fluid
dynamics, atmospheric science, astronomy, and astrophysics.
Providing a much-needed resource for this cross-disciplinary field,
An Introduction to Planetary Atmospheres presents current knowledge
on atmospheres and the fundamental mechanisms operating on them.
The author treats the topics in a comparative manner among the
different solar system bodies-what is known as comparative
planetology. Based on an established course, this comprehensive
text covers a panorama of solar system bodies and their relevant
general properties. It explores the origin and evolution of
atmospheres, along with their chemical composition and thermal
structure. It also describes cloud formation and properties,
mechanisms in thin and upper atmospheres, and meteorology and
dynamics. Each chapter focuses on these atmospheric topics in the
way classically done for the Earth's atmosphere and summarizes the
most important aspects in the field. The study of planetary
atmospheres is fundamental to understanding the origin of the solar
system, the formation mechanisms of planets and satellites, and the
day-to-day behavior and evolution of Earth's atmosphere. With many
interesting real-world examples, this book offers a unified vision
of the chemical and physical processes occurring in planetary
atmospheres. Ancillaries are available at
