| atmospheric dynamics | dynamique de l'atmosphère | |
| atmospheric emission | émission atmosphérique, dans l'air | |
| atmospheric emission | émissions atmosphériques | |
| atmospheric emission (Suspended pollutants -- solid particles, liquid aerosols, etc. -- or toxic gases released into the atmosphere from a polluting source, or type of source) | émission atmosphérique | |

| atmospheric fallout (The sedimentation of dust or fine particles from the atmosphere) | retombée atmosphérique | |
| atmospheric fallout | retombée atmosphérique | |
| atmospheric filth | poussière atmosphérique | |
| atmospheric humidity (A measurable quantity of the moisture content found in the earth's atmosphere) | humidité de l'air | |
| atmospheric input | apport atmosphérique | |
| atmospheric inputs into the sea | apports atmosphériques en mer | |
| atmospheric inversion | inversion thermique | |
| atmospheric inversion | inversion du gradient | |
| 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) | inversion thermique | |
| atmospheric layering | disposition des couches atmosphériques | |
| 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) | stratification atmosphérique | |
| atmospheric lifetime | durée de vie atmosphérique | |
| atmospheric lifetime | durée de vie dans l'atmosphère |
