climateplanetary
Climateplanetary is an interdisciplinary concept that refers to the study of climate systems across planets and other major bodies in the solar system and beyond. It emphasizes comparative climatology, planetary atmospheres, and the factors that shape climate on worlds with diverse compositions, pressures, and insolation.
Core topics include atmospheric composition, radiative transfer, cloud physics, surface-atmosphere interactions, greenhouse effects, and feedback mechanisms.
Methods include spacecraft data, remote sensing, and in-situ measurements from landers and atmospheric probes, as well
Applications include assessing planetary habitability, interpreting atmospheric observations of exoplanets, reconstructing past climates in the solar
Relationship to other fields: intersects climatology, planetary science, astrobiology, atmospheric science, and astronomy. The term climateplanetary
Challenges include limited observational data for many worlds, uncertainties in cloud and haze physics, and the
