SMA solar system science can be broadly broken down into two categories: (a) research dedicated toward understanding the properties of solid surfaces, and (b) research toward understanding the properties of atmospheres in its broadest application.
Given an observed geometric albedo our prescriptions can be used to estimate the underlying scattering albedo of the atmosphere, which in turn is indicative of the scattering and absorptive properties of the atmosphere.
One of the basic properties of the atmosphere is that moisture increases with temperature.
They also participate in chemical processes and influence the electrical properties of the atmosphere.
Aerosols affect the Earth's temperature and climate by altering the radiative properties of the atmosphere.
Climate and Earth system modelling is the use of mathematical representations of key components and properties of the atmosphere, ocean and biosphere to construct computer models.
The landers measured various properties of the atmosphere and soil of Mars and made colour images of its yellow-brown rocky surface and dusty pinkish sky.

In order to understand what controls the surface temperature of the Earth, we need to examine the radiative properties of the atmosphere.
The Ba'kus' neighbors, the evil Son'a, have made a secret deal with the Federation to allow them to relocate the Ba'ku to another planet and harvest the regenerative properties of their atmosphere for the universal good.
