Atmospheric Observing System

An Atmospheric Observing System is a network of tools and instruments used to monitor and study the Earth's atmosphere. It collects data on temperature, humidity, wind speed, and air quality, helping scientists understand weather patterns, climate change, and pollution levels. These systems include weather stations, satellites, and research aircraft, all working together to provide real-time information that supports weather forecasting and climate research. This data is crucial for protecting public safety, guiding environmental policy, and enhancing our understanding of the Earth's complex atmospheric processes.
