An atmosphere is the layers of gases surrounding a planet or other celestial body. ... These gases are found in layers (troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere) defined by unique features such as temperature and pressure.
The Earth's atmosphere protects and sustains the planet's inhabitants by providing warmth and absorbing harmful solar rays. In addition to containing the oxygen and carbon dioxide, which living things need to survive, the atmosphere traps the sun's energy and wards off many of the dangers of space.
Earth's atmosphere is a thin blanket of gases and tiny particles: together called air. We are most aware of air when it moves and creates wind.
The rotating loops of currents that occur in the ocean are referred to as gyres.

Answer: A - P.M. Grootes, K.M. Cuffey, and J.M. Bolzan, among others.
Explanation: Dr. Anandakrishnan collaborated and coauthored with all of the people listed above and has worked with many other people.
During the year 1994, Dr. Sridhar Anandakrishnan collaborated with Kurt M Cuffey, Richard B Alley, Pieter M Grootes and John M Bolzan on the topic 'Calibration of the δ18O isotopic paleothermometer for central Greenland, using borehole temperatures'
They calibrated the δ 18O paleo-thermometer for central Greenland using borehole temperatures, a thermal model forced by a measured δ 18O record and a formal inverse technique. The calibration is determined mostly by temperature fluctuations of the last several centuries, including the Little Ice Age.
Results are generally insensitive to model variables, including initial condition, basal boundary condition, parameterization of snow thermal properties, ice thickness and likely errors in temperature and isotope measurements. Results of this borehole calibration also seem to be in agreement with modern spatial gradients of δ 18O and temperature.
They suggest that calibrations of isotopic paleothermometers using borehole temperatures are a useful paleoclimate tool because they are independent of spatial gradients and include the effects of prehistoric temperatures.
