Exoplanetary Atmospheres : : Theoretical Concepts and Foundations / / Kevin Heng.
The study of exoplanetary atmospheres-that is, of planets orbiting stars beyond our solar system-may be our best hope for discovering life elsewhere in the universe. This dynamic, interdisciplinary field requires practitioners to apply knowledge from atmospheric and climate science, astronomy and as...
