atmosfäärilise

Atmosfääriline is an Estonian adjective meaning related to the atmosphere. It is formed from the noun atmosfäär with the common adjectival suffix -iline. The form atmosfäärilise is a inflected variant used in certain grammatical cases, such as the genitive singular, depending on the sentence structure.

In scientific and technical contexts, atmosfääriline describes properties, processes, or phenomena associated with the Earth’s atmosphere or with atmospheres of other planets. Common usages include phrases like atmosfäärilise rõhu langus or atmosfäärilise rõhu tõus (changes in atmospheric pressure), atmosfäärilise koostise (the composition of the atmosphere), and atmosfäärilise saaste (atmospheric pollution). The term is also found in discussions of radiation, gas content, humidity, and other atmospheric characteristics. Beyond strict science, atmosfääriline can be used to describe ambience or mood, particularly in literature, film, or photography, to indicate an atmosphere or environmental feel.

Etymologically, the word is built from atmosfäär, the word for the layer of gases surrounding a body such as the Earth, with the productive suffix -iline signaling a relational or descriptive property.
