The whole mass of air, or mixture of gases, surrounding the earth (Clark, 1985; Millar, 1994). Includes layers such as the troposhere (0 to ~6-18km from earth), stratosphere (~6-18km to ~50km from earth), mesosphere (~50km to ~80km from earth), and thermosphere (~80km+ from earth). Each layer is divided from the next by a region refered to as a pause, eg. the tropopause divides the troposphere from the stratosphere. See figure of the layers of the atmosphere below.
