Explores the formation and evolution of atmospheres, their structure and dynamics, and what is known about their chemical composition.
Dr. Prinn's research interests incorporate the chemistry, dynamics, and physics of the atmospheres of the Earth and other planets, and the chemical evolution of atmospheres.
Along with his work in linking the science, economics and policy aspects of global change, his research incorporates the chemistry, dynamics and physics of the atmospheres of the Earth and other planets, and the chemical evolution of atmospheres.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge MA 02139, U.S.A. Professor Prinn's research interests incorporate the chemistry, dynamics, and physics of the atmospheres of the Earth and other planets, and the chemical evolution of atmospheres.
In situ measurements by the Gas Chromatograph and Mass Spectrometer (GCMS) instrument on board of ESA's Huygens entry probe can be used as a confirmation of the Earth-based isotope anomaly observations and will be of great importance for understanding the formation and evolution of atmospheres around bodies in the solar system.
For details on solar wind influence on the evolution of atmospheres we refer to Lammer et al. (2008) and references therein.
For a full description of the processes that created the current atmosphere on Earth, see evolution of the atmosphere.
Evolution of the atmosphere, the development of Earth's atmosphere across geologic time.
We seek signs of ancient rivers and oceans that could indicate the presence of life, and we study the evolutions of atmospheres and climates of other planets in the drive to discover more about our own.
If a long enough record of the weather is maintained, the forecaster has the (relatively) easy job of looking through the record for a day when the atmosphere looks pretty much the same as today, and then issuing the historical evolution of the atmosphere from that starting point as today's weather forecast for the coming week.
