Atmological

/ætmoʊˈlɑdʒɪkəl/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or based on atmology; following the principles or methods of the scientific study of vapor and atmospheric phenomena.

Etymology

From atmology + -ical (adjectival suffix), creating a more emphatic or formal version of 'atmologic.' The '-ical' ending often adds a sense of 'according to' or 'in the manner of.'

Kelly Says

The distinction between 'atmologic' and 'atmological' is like 'geographic' versus 'geographical'—both mean the same thing, but 'atmological' sounds more formal and appears in older, more serious scientific writing.
