Atmospheric Profiles

Atmospheric profiles describe how the properties of the atmosphere, such as temperature, pressure, and humidity, change with altitude. Typically, as you go higher in the atmosphere, the temperature decreases, which affects weather patterns and climate. These profiles are crucial for understanding and predicting atmospheric behavior, including how air masses move, the formation of clouds, and the development of storms. Meteorologists use atmospheric profiles to analyze data collected from ground stations and weather balloons, helping them create accurate weather forecasts and study climate change.
