Weather research and prediction has historically been hampered by a lack of reliable, up-to-the-minute data—especially data about the upper atmosphere. To repair the lack, scientists started taking instruments aloft in balloons... What could become a help... is a... meteorological pod that can easily be attached to subsonic aircraft. Small, lightweight, the meteorological pod has been successfully flown and has transmitted useful data over a... telemetry link to conventional ground meteorological devices...  3, record 1, English, - ground%20meteorological%20device

The MLS detects naturally occurring microwave thermal emissions from Earth's limb to create vertical profiles of atmospheric gasses, temperature, pressure and cloud ice. MLS looks 90° from the angle of UARS’ [Upper Atmosphere Research Statellite] orbit. Thermal radiation enters the instrument through a three-mirror antenna system. The antenna mechanically scans in the vertical plane through the atmospheric limb every 65. 5 seconds. The scan covers a height range from the surface up to 90 km(55 miles). Upon entering the instrument, the signal from the antenna is separated into three signals for processing by different radiometers. The 63-GHz radiometer measures temperature and pressure. The 183-GHz radiometer measures water vapor and ozone. The 205-GHz radiometer measures ClO, ozone, sulfur dioxide, nitric acid and water vapor.  2, record 4, English, - microwave%20limb%20sounder

CEDAR is a broad-based, community-initiated, upper atmospheric research program. The goal is to understand the behavior of atmospheric regions from the middle atmosphere upward through the thermosphere and ionosphere into the exosphere in terms of coupling, energetics, chemistry, and dynamics on regional and global scales. These processes are related to the sources of perturbations that propagate upward from the lower atmosphere as well as to solar radiation and particle inputs from above. The activities within this program combine observations, theory and modeling.  2, record 5, English, - Coupling%2C%20Energetics%20and%20Dynamics%20of%20Atmospheric%20Regions

The Earth's upper atmosphere, beginning only 10-15 km above the surface, remains a frontier largely unexplored from space. The goal of upper atmosphere research is to understand the chemistry, dynamics, and energy balance above the troposphere as well as the coupling between these processes and between atmosphere regions. This implies an understanding of the mechanisms that control upper atmosphere structure and variability, as well as an understanding of how the upper atmosphere responds to natural and man-made causes. Together, these will help define the role of the upper atmosphere in climate and climate variability. The UARS [Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite] platform provides simultaneous, coordinated measurements of atmospheric internal structure(trace constituents, physical dynamics, radiative emission, thermal structure, density) and measurements of the external influences acting upon the upper atmosphere(solar radiation, tropospheric conditions, electric fields).  2, record 6, English, - Earth%26rsquo%3Bs%20upper%20atmosphere

La thermosphère et l'exosphère constituent l'atmosphère supérieure de la Terre, où gravitent les satellites artificiels et les vaisseaux spatiaux. [...] Une bonne connaissance de l'atmosphère supérieure, c'est-à-dire de la thermosphère et de l'exosphère, est importante en soi [...] pour la définition des caractéristiques aérodynamiques des véhicules spatiaux, l'estimation de leur durée de vie orbitale et la sélection des orbites les mieux appropriées pour des recherches ou applications particulières comme la géodésie, la navigation, la télédétection, la météorologie. [...] L'atmosphère supérieure est aussi le milieu naturel des astronautes et cosmonautes lorsqu'ils accomplissent des sorties dans l'espace dans le cadre de la construction et de la maintenance des stations orbitales ou lors d'activités diverses telles que la récupération et la réparation de satellites.  2, record 6, French, - atmosph%C3%A8re%20sup%C3%A9rieure%20de%20la%20Terre
