High-Altitude Research

High-altitude research involves studying the Earth's atmosphere at very high elevations to understand weather patterns, climate change, and atmospheric composition. Scientists use specialized equipment like weather balloons, aircraft, and satellites to gather data on temperature, pressure, humidity, and gases. This research helps improve weather forecasting, develop better climate models, and supports aviation safety and environmental monitoring. By examining the upper layers of the atmosphere, researchers can gain insights into phenomena such as ozone depletion and the behavior of cosmic rays, which have implications for both the environment and human health.
