Scientific paper

Current knowledge of the atmospheres of Venus, Earth and Mars is reviewed, with emphasis on aspects where recent observational or theoretical work shows common processes at work. Selected problems of particular interest at the present time are described under the headings of composition, thermal structure, clouds, dynamics, weather and climate, and aeronomy. The overall problem remains the understanding of the origin and evolution of the planets, and the stability of their atmospheres and the surface environment or climate which they control. The latter depends on a complicated balance between radiative, dynamical and chemical processes which is only rather sketchily understood at present.
