Atmospheric river
An atmospheric river is a long, narrow corridor of water vapor that carries most moisture outside the tropics, bringing heavy rain or snow where it landfalls.
Atmospheric super-rotation
Atmospheric super-rotation is when a planet's atmosphere circulates faster than the planet rotates. It occurs permanently on Venus, Titan, Jupiter, Saturn, and some hot Jupiters.
Atmospheric tide
An atmospheric tide is a planetary-scale oscillation of the atmosphere whose period is a fraction of a solar or lunar day, driven by solar heating and lunar gravity.
Atmospheric water generator
An atmospheric water generator (AWG) is a device that extracts water vapor from air to make drinking water, by cooling air below its dew point or using desiccants.
Atmospheric water harvesting by metal–organic frameworks
Atmospheric water harvesting by metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) captures water vapor from dry air using tunable porous crystalline sorbents, releasing drinkable water with mild solar heating; devices like MOF-303 have produced water in Death Valley.
Atmospheric water harvesting hydrogels
Atmospheric water harvesting hydrogels are cross-linked hydrophilic polymer networks that capture water vapor directly from air and release it as liquid water using sunlight or low-grade heat.
Atmospheric-pressure chemical vapor deposition
Atmospheric-pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD) is a thin-film deposition process in which gaseous precursors react on a heated substrate at about 1 atm, the oldest CVD variant.
Atmospheric-pressure plasma jet
An atmospheric-pressure plasma jet (APPJ) is a cold plasma source that projects ionized noble gas, typically helium or argon, into open air without a vacuum enclosure.

Atoll reefs of the central Pacific islands
Atoll reefs of the central Pacific are ring-shaped coral reef systems enclosing shallow lagoons and topped by low carbonate islands; about 268 atolls exist worldwide, hosting a quarter of tropical seabirds.
Atolla jellyfish
Atolla jellyfish, genus Atolla (crown jellyfish, Coronatae, family Atollidae), are red deep-sea medusae found in every ocean basin; Atolla wyvillei is known for its burglar-alarm bioluminescence, and Atolla reynoldsi was newly described in 2022.
