Atmospherical physical science is the application of physics to the study of the atmosphere. Atmospherical physicists attempt to model Earth's atmosphere and the atmospheres of the other planets using fluid flow equations, chemical models, radiation balancing, and energy transfer processes in the atmosphere (as well as how these tie in to other systems such as the oceans). Sequentially to model upwind systems, atmospherical physicists uses elements of scattering theory, wave propagation system, cloud dynamics, statistical mechanics and spatial statistics which are highly mathematical inside nature and related to studies within applied mathematical physical science on to geophysical phenomena. It has close links to meteorology and climatology & also covers a project & construction of instruments for researching a atmosphere and a interpretation of the information it provide, including remote sensing instruments.
