Couverture de l’ouvrage Understanding the Diversity of Planetary Atmospheres
Thanks to the observation of a growing number of planetary atmospheres, we are at the dawn of a major scientific revolution in atmospheric and climate sciences. But are we ready to understand what will be discovered around other stars? 

This book brings together 15 review chapters that study and provide up-to-date information on the physical and chemical processes that control the nature of atmospheres. It identifies commonalities between various solar system atmospheres, analyzes the dynamic processes behind different atmospheric circulation regimes, and outlines key questions remaining in solar system science.

Through this comprehensive overview, the volume will help researchers understand the possible nature of the exo-atmospheres to be discovered in the coming decades thanks to upcoming new generations of telescopes.

Previously published in Space Science Reviews in the Topical Collection "Understanding the Diversity of Planetary Atmospheres?

François Forget is a CNRS senior research scientist in Paris, where he studies planetary atmospheres in the solar system and around other stars.  For his research, he combines numerical modeling and analysis of space observation. With his team he has developed climate models designed to simulate the climate on any planet that one can imagine. He has been involved in several space exploration missions such as Mars Express, New Horizons, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, Trace Gas orbiter, Insight, etc. He is a member of the French academy of sciences and recipient of the European Geophysical Union David Bates Medal. 

Oleg Korablev graduated from Moscow State University (Physics) in 1985. Since then, he has worked in in Space Research Institute (IKI) in Moscow, from an engineer to head of department and deputy director. He has completed his PhD in 1992 and habilitation – in 2003. From 1997 to the mid-2000ies, he worked part-time in Service d'Aeronomie in France (LATMOS at present). Now he occupies the position of a leading researcher in IKI. He contributed to several space projects such as VeGa, Phobos-88, Mars-96, Mars Express, Venus Express, ExoMars, and others. He was the PI of multiple instruments to study planetary atmospheres and co-authored discovery papers dedicated to Mars' atmosphere. In 2016 he was elected to Russian Academy of Science (RAS). He chaired Science Commission B (planets) in COSPAR (2012-2020); heads the Space Council, RAS section on Solar system planets.

Julia Venturini is an Uruguayan astrophysicist working on Planet Formation Theory. She moved to Switzerland in 2012 to do her PhD at the University of Bern and has lived in Switzerland since then. She has contrbuted to the understanding of the formation of a variety of planets, ranging from super-Earths and mini-Neptunes to Jupiter. She has recently proposed that the so-called ‘radius valley’ in the distribution of exoplanets’ size is an imp
