Dynamics of Planetary Atmospheres in the Solar System

This examination focuses on the dynamics that characterize planetary atmospheres across the solar system. It emphasizes atmospheric composition, circulation patterns, and their implications for climate and surface conditions.

The study of planetary atmospheres provides critical insights into climatic processes that govern various celestial bodies. Knowledge in this area is vital for mission planning and the identification of potentially habitable environments.

Students will be assessed on their ability to articulate atmospheric dynamics, including the comparison of terrestrial and gaseous planet atmospheres, and their relevance to exploratory missions.

Participants may also discuss key atmospheric phenomena observed during recent missions, linking theoretical concepts with practical exploration.
