| 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) | ozono atmosférico | |
| atmospheric ozone | ozono de la atmósfera | |
| atmospheric ozone buildup | acumulación de ozono atmosférico | |
| atmospheric particulate (A concentration of fine liquid or solid particles, such as dust, smoke, mist, fumes or smog, found in the atmosphere) | partículas atmosféricas | |
| atmospheric particulate matter | partículas atmosféricas | |
| atmospheric particulate matter | partículas sólidas de la atmósfera | |
| atmospheric physics (The study of the physical phenomena of the atmosphere) | física de la atmósfera | |
| atmospheric physics | física de la atmósfera | |
| atmospheric pollutant activity | actividad contaminadora de la atmósfera | |
| atmospheric pollution (The presence in the air of one or more contaminants in such a concentration and of such duration as to cause a nuisance or to be injurious to human life, animal life or vegetation) | contaminación atmosférica | |
| atmospheric pollution action level | nivel de alarma | |
| atmospheric pollution index | índice de contaminación atmosférica | |
| atmospheric pollution index | índice de contaminación del aire | |
| atmospheric precipitation (The settling out of water from cloud in the form of dew, rain, hail, snow, etc.) | precipitación atmosférica | |
| atmospheric precipitation | precipitación atmosférica | |
| atmospheric pressure | presión atmosférica | |
| atmospheric pressure aeration | aireación a presión atmosférica | |
| atmospheric process (Atmospheric processes are distinguished in physical and chemical processes and both types may be operating simultaneously in complicated and interdependent ways. The physical processes of transport by atmospheric winds and the formation of clouds and precipitation strongly influence the patterns and rates of acidic deposition, while chemical reactions govern the forms of the compounds deposited) | procesos atmosféricos | |
| atmospheric process | procesos atmosféricos | |
| atmospheric science (The atmospheric sciences study the dynamics, physics and chemistry of atmospheric phenomena and processes, including the interactions of the atmosphere with soil physics, hydrology and oceanic circulation. The research focuses on the following areas: turbulence and convection, atmospheric radiation and remote sensing, aerosol and cloud physics and chemistry, planetary atmospheres, air-sea interactions, climate, and statistical meteorology) | ciencias de la atmósfera |
