Providing a much-needed resource for this cross-disciplinary field, this text presents current knowledge on atmospheres and the fundamental mechanisms operating on them. It offers a unified scheme of the chemical and physical processes occurring in atmospheres and extends the theoretical foundations of an atmospheric topic to all planets and satellites with an atmosphere. The text provides an up-to-date comparative vision of the phenomena in atmospheres that encompasses the latest planetary space mission discoveries. It also reviews the observational methods and current facilities used to explore planetary atmospheres on Earth and in space.
