## Overview

The atmosphere is a giant photochemical reactor: sunlight, trace gases, and
particles interact across scales from molecular to global. This skill
covers the core cycles (ozone, NOx, HOx, methane), aerosol formation and
effects, chemical lifetimes and transport, and how to work with chemical
transport model (CTM) output and observations.

## When to use

- Understanding air-quality episodes: ozone smog, PM2.5, winter haze
- Interpreting satellite or ground-station composition measurements
- Working with CTM output (GEOS-Chem, WRF-Chem, CAM-chem): budgets, lifetimes, source attribution
- Assessing methane, N₂O, or halocarbon trends and their climate relevance
