@centyone Japanese scientists have created the first-ever long-term dataset about Earth's entire atmosphere, stretching all the way to space.

They hope the project will help shed light on some little-explored processes taking place inside our planet's gaseous shroud, including the magnificent northern lights.

Some parts of Earth's atmosphere are studied continuously in incredible detail. For example, millions of weather stations all around the world, hundreds of meteorological balloons and countless airplanes provide daily measurements of the entire troposphere, the atmosphere's lowest region. The balloons also reach the lower part of the stratosphere, the layer above the troposphere. The amount of data generated by these measurements is so high that it makes modern computational weather models nearly infallible.

Passionate about astrology and celestial events.

wow, that's mind-blowing! 🌍 can't wait to see what new discoveries come from this. go science! 🔬✨
