The phrase "atmospheric heating" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in discussions related to climate change, meteorology, or environmental science to describe the process of the atmosphere warming.
Example: "The increase in greenhouse gases has led to significant atmospheric heating, impacting global weather patterns."
Alternatives: "air temperature rise" or "climate warming".
Global efforts launched in 1989 to stem emissions of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)—volatile chemicals, used as refrigerants and propellants in spray cans, that break down ozone have borne fruit not only by protecting ozone in the atmosphere but also by preventing even more dramatic atmospheric heating.
Magnetospheric energy deposition into the upper atmosphere mainly happens in the polar regions and is preliminarily caused by precipitation of energetic ions and electrons and by electromagnetic energy flow, causing many secondary effects in the ionosphere and atmosphere, such as variations in ionospheric conductance, modification of plasma convection and atmospheric heating.
These classes represent differing degrees of atmospheric heating of incoming micrometeoroids.
Until recently, scientists had scant knowledge of how atmospheric heating and increasing weather extremes were affecting lakes throughout the world.
Atmospheric heating has been partly triggered by a major El Niño event in the Pacific, with 2016 expected to be the hottest year on record.
The underestimation largely stems from a reduction and eastward shift of the atmospheric heating response to the tropical Atlantic warming trend.
Oceanic and atmospheric heat transport: Kevin E. Trenberth and Julie M. Caron, "Estimates of Meridional Atmosphere and Ocean Heat Transports," Journal of Climate 14 (August 15 , 2001: 3433 3443.
While here, he made significant strides in the understanding of atmospheric heat exchange and turbulence, and relationships between ocean currents and the atmosphere.
Oceans are currently sucking up large chunks of both carbon-dioxide emissions and rising atmospheric heat.
The constraints that atmospheric heat transport, ocean heat transport, and CO2 concentration place on this mechanism are established.
Seasonal changes in temperature are large over land but small over ocean waters, and monsoons blow from atmospheric heat sinks (that is, cold regions with high atmospheric pressure) toward heat sources (warm regions characterized by low atmospheric pressure).
