Obviously you have the physics, a keener interest in atmopheric conditions at higher altitudes and the like, but there is also the understanding ocean flow, chemistry (e.g., the effects of water vapor on the ozone and carbon dioxide on ocean chemistry), soil, the role of particulates in the nucleation of precipitation, geology (e.g., permafrost and methane hydrates), and now even ecology and microbiology and their effects upon carbon sequestration.
