"Atmospherical" is an accepted but largely archaic form. In modern scientific and general usage, "atmospheric" is the standard and overwhelmingly preferred adjective. You will almost always encounter "atmospheric pressure," "atmospheric conditions," or "atmospheric science." Using "atmospherical" may sound outdated or unnecessarily formal.
