The phrase "air science" is not commonly used in written English and may not be widely recognized.
It could be used in contexts related to atmospheric studies, aerodynamics, or environmental science, but it is not a standard term.
Example: "The researchers conducted a study in air science to understand the effects of pollution on climate change."
Alternatives: "atmospheric science" or "aeronautical science".
The new air science says maybe not.
But about 10 years ago, researchers discovered that the old-growth rainforests in the Amazon were growing enough to remove a significant amount of CO2 from the air (Science, 16 October 1998, p. 439).
The 21st century presents a set of new and complex challenges to the air science community, requiring systems approaches and holistic solutions.
These questions are all clearly linked to each other and as we move ahead in the 21st century, real gains in our understanding and improvements in air quality will be achieved only through true interdisciplinary science that can leverage the capabilities and perspectives of the air science community.
These "airy sciences", as Hume calls them, have only the "air" of science (EHU 1.12/12).
The great issues facing us - energy, fresh air, water, science, human relations - were borderless.
But the advent of genetic-sequencing technology has made it possible to identify microbes by their DNA, spawning a frenzy of research, whose highlights, routinely catalogued in the popular press, can have an air of science fiction.
Mr. Levine said he got e-books from Barnes & Noble (www.bn.com) and audio material from Audible.com (www.audible.com), where he downloads not just books but also radio programs like "Fresh Air" and "Science Friday," both on National Public Radio.
Chinese sports officials scrutinize, dissect, and forecast the medal race with an intensity that lends it the air of science — convinced that sufficient analysis will eventually engineer away the frailty of a diver in midair or a fighter in the ring.
Benjamin Barratt, a lecturer in air quality science at King's, said: "The bottom line is [the gluing method] is not going to work in many of the sites in London where the problem is purely down to traffic, but there are other locations in London where we have severe PM10 problems relating to industrial activity and it has been shown to have a role in those locations".
