《大氣化學雜志》致力于研究地球大氣的化學，重點放在100公里以下的區域。大氣化學的強烈跨學科性質意味著,它包含了各種各樣的科學,但《華爾街日報》集中于以下主題:觀察解釋和建模研究空氣和沉淀的組成和地球大氣層的生化的過程不包括當地的空氣污染問題的重要性。大氣在生物地球化學循環中的作用;海洋、陸地表面和生物圈與大氣的化學相互作用。大氣中均質和非均質轉化過程中力學的實驗室研究。描述用于測量大氣成分和化學性質的儀器的主要進展。

The Journal of Atmospheric Chemistry is devoted to the study of the chemistry of the Earth's atmosphere the emphasis being laid on the region below about 100 km. The strongly interdisciplinary nature of atmospheric chemistry means that it embraces a great variety of sciences but the journal concentrates on the following topics: Observational interpretative and modelling studies of the composition of air and precipitation and the physiochemical processes in the Earth's atmosphere excluding air pollution problems of local importance only. The role of the atmosphere in biogeochemical cycles; the chemical interaction of the oceans land surface and biosphere with the atmosphere. Laboratory studies of the mechanics in homogeneous and heterogeneous transformation processes in the atmosphere. Descriptions of major advances in instrumentation developed for the measurement of atmospheric composition and chemical properties.
