Atmospheric Profiling
Atmospheric profiling is the process of measuring and analyzing the different layers of the Earth's atmosphere. This involves collecting data on various atmospheric parameters, such as temperature, humidity, pressure, and wind speed, at different altitudes. These measurements help scientists understand weather patterns, climate change, and air quality.
To gather this information, researchers often use tools like radiosondes, satellites, and weather balloons. By studying the vertical structure of the atmosphere, they can improve weather forecasts and gain insights into atmospheric phenomena, such as storms and pollution dispersion.
