| atmospheric inputs into the sea | atmosphärischer Stoffeintrag in das Meer | |
| atmospheric inversion | atmosphärische Inversion | |
| atmospheric inversion (A temperature inversion in the atmosphere in which the temperature, instead of falling, increases with height above the ground. With the colder and heavier air below, there is no tendency to form upward currents and turbulence is suppressed. Inversions are often formed in the late afternoon when the radiation emitted from the ground exceeds that received from the sinking sun. Inversions are also caused by katabatic winds, that is cold winds flowing down the hillside into a valley, and by anticyclones. In inversion layers, both vertical and horizontal diffusion is inhibited and pollutants become trapped, sometimes for long periods. Low-level discharges of pollutants are more readily trapped by inversions than high level dischargers, hence the case for high stacks. Furthermore, high level discharges into an inversion tend to remain at a high level because of the absence of vertical mixing) | atmosphärische Inversion | |
| atmospheric layering (Any one of a number of strata or layers of the earth's atmosphere; temperature distribution is the most common criterion used for denoting the various shell. Also known as atmospheric shell; atmospheric region) | Atmosphärische Schichtung | |
| atmospheric lifetime of a compound | Verweildauer einer Verbindung in der Atmosphäre | |
| atmospheric load | atmosphärische Luftbelastung | |
| atmospheric load | atmosphärische Stofffracht | |
| atmospheric loading | atmosphärische Stofffracht | |
| atmospheric loading | atmosphärische Luftbelastung | |
| atmospheric model | Atmosphärisches Modell | |
| atmospheric model (A simulation, pattern or plan designed to demonstrate the structure or workings of the atmosphere surrounding any object, including the Earth) | Atmosphärisches Modell | |
| atmospheric monitoring | Atmosphärische Überwachung | |
| atmospheric monitoring (A practice of continuous atmospheric sampling by various levels of government or particular industries) | Atmosphärische Überwachung | |
| atmospheric oxidation | Luftoxidation | |
| atmospheric ozone | Ozon der Atmosphäre | |
| atmospheric ozone | Atmosphärisches Ozon | |
| atmospheric ozone (A triatomic molecule of oxygen; a natural constituent of the atmosphere, with the highest concentrations in the ozone layer or stratosphere; it is found at a level between 15 and 30 km above the Earth, which prevents harmful ultraviolet B radiation, which causes skin cancer and threatens plant life, from reaching the ground. The fragile shield is being damaged by chemicals released on Earth. The main chemicals that are depleting stratospheric ozone are chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which are used in refrigerators, aerosols and as cleaners in many industries and halons, which are used in fire extinguishers. The damage is caused when these chemicals release highly reactive forms of chlorine and bromine) | Atmosphärisches Ozon | |
| atmospheric ozone buildup | Akkumulation von atmosphärischem Ozon | |
| atmospheric ozone buildup | Akkumulation von troposphärischem Ozon | |
| atmospheric ozone buildup | Ozon-Akkumulation |
