The phrase "atmosphere equivalent" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to environmental science, climate studies, or discussions about atmospheric conditions and their comparisons.
Example: "The study measured the carbon emissions in terms of their atmosphere equivalent to better understand their impact on climate change."
Alternatives: "atmospheric equivalent" or "equivalent atmospheric conditions".
At a global scale, the drainage of peatlands is a major source of CO2 to the atmosphere, equivalent to 1-31-3percentf total global emissions from the combustion of fossil fuel.
Our efforts are estimated to keep nearly 2,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually out of the atmosphere - equivalent to emissions from approximately 4 million vehicle miles.
In the last decade, more than 200 million acres of rainforest have been cleared and burned, sending an amount of pollution into the atmosphere equivalent to seven times the United States' annual emissions.
In addition, the near frictionless effect persists under extreme conditions: high pressures (as much as 675 atmospheres, equivalent to seven kilometers under the sea) and humidity, and in colder temperatures.
The average global stock of water vapour in the atmosphere is equivalent to a layer of water 2.5 cm (1 inch) deep covering the whole Earth.
It was 10 meters across, and the energy released as it exploded in Earth's atmosphere was equivalent to 173 kilotons of TNT.
When burned, that will pump about 50m tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere – roughly equivalent to the annual output of Sweden.
They say that if 50,000 homes destroyed by Katrina were rebuilt to their standards, over half a million tonnes of CO2 would be eliminated from the atmosphere – the equivalent, they claim, of taking 100,000 cars off the road.
The heat capacity of an atmospheric column of unit area cross section extending from the ocean surface to the outermost layers of the atmosphere is equivalent to the heat capacity of a column of seawater of 2.6-metre (8.5-foot) depth.
He is also quick to point to a report from Ernst & Young which predicts the new championship could encourage the purchase of 77 million new electric cars, create 42,000 green jobs and save 900 million tons of CO2 being emitted into the atmosphere – the equivalent of Italy's annual output – over the next 25 years.
Today, that atmosphere is equivalent to just one-hundredth the thickness of Earth's.
