Note
A plural that does different work depending on which atmosphere is meant. With planets it counts separate envelopes of gas. With pressure it counts units, so a reading can be given as two or three atmospheres, written atm. The film-set use, for extras with no spoken lines, stays uncountable: a crew asks for more atmosphere, never more atmospheres.
