The Atmosphere Render Element stores only atmospheric or volumetric participating media such as Environment Fog or Aerial Perspective. This render element can then be used to enhance or color-correct just the atmospheric component of the image during the compositing process.

When atmospheric effects or fog are included in a scene, they render into the Beauty|RGB channel and should also be output as the VRayAtmosphere channel for compositing use.
