During the entry of a meteoroid or asteroid into the upper atmosphere, an ionization trail is created, where the molecules in the upper atmosphere are ionized by the passage of the meteor.

These ordinarily explode in the upper atmosphere, and most or all of the solids are vaporized.

Neon in the upper atmosphere only consists of 20 parts per million by mass, which is about a tenth as abundant as in the Sun.

The rate of orbital decay depends on the satellite's cross sectional area and mass, as well as variations in the air density of the upper atmosphere.

(b) To investigate processes of energy transfer from the Sun's depths to its surface, the accumulation of energy in the upper atmosphere and its emission during the occurrence of transient solar phenomena

This correlation indicates that the origin of the light emission was a flux of electrons moving along the crust magnetic lines and exciting the upper atmosphere of Mars.

Atmospheric physics is the application of physics to the study of the atmosphere.

The troposphere (lower atmosphere) is the densest layer of the atmosphere.

This led to Upper Atmosphere Research Program and later the Earth Observing System (EOS) satellites in the 1990s to monitor ozone depletion.

Above the level of the photosphere is the stellar atmosphere.

X Prize founder Peter Diamandis talks about how he helped Stephen Hawking fulfill his dream of going to space by flying together into the upper atmosphere and experiencing weightlessness at zero g.

Air pollution atmosphere

a chemical reaction within the atmosphere.

The cusps of the magnetosphere, separating geomagnetic field lines that close through the Earth from those that close remotely allow a small amount of solar wind to directly reach the top of the atmosphere, producing an auroral glow.

The simulated atmosphere included water, methane, ammonia and molecular hydrogen all molecules still found in the atmosphere of Jupiter.

The first component is caused by X rays from the Sun scattering off the upper Martian atmosphere the second comes from interactions between ions that result in an exchange of charges.

A paleoatmosphere (or palaeoatmosphere ) is an atmosphere, particularly that of Earth, at some unspecified time in the geological past.

The index is derived from the stability (temperature difference between different levels of the atmosphere) and moisture content (dew point depression) of the lower atmosphere.

Atmospheric sciences is an umbrella term for the study of the Earth's atmosphere, its processes, the effects other systems have on the atmosphere, and the effects of the atmosphere on these other systems.

Many methods of atmospheric engineering have been proposed.

The vanishing Arctic sea ice also affects the atmosphere.

Structure, growth and development Most of the solid material in a plant is taken from the atmosphere.

It arose out of concerns for the state of the atmosphere in the 1960s.

The second, preservation of the security and safety of satellites in orbit.

A barometer measures atmospheric pressure, or the pressure exerted by the weight of the Earth's atmosphere above a particular location.

(a) Relaxation study of the interaction between the exhaust products of turbojet engines and the upper strata of the Earth's atmosphere by examining the images and spectra obtained in the ultraviolet range.

The ionosphere is the inner edge of the magnetosphere and is the part of the atmosphere that is ionized by solar radiation.

In addition, he discovered carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of Mars and the existence of a methane laced atmosphere above Saturn's satellite Titan in 1944.

For example, evacuation of the flask to 1 mm and then replenishing the atmosphere with 760 mm inert gas leaves 0.13 of the original atmosphere (1 760 100 ).

One of these is protecting forests, since deforestation accounts for 17 of emissions.

The residence time of 36Cl in the atmosphere is about 1 week.

This is the process which returns oxygen to Earth's atmosphere.

Atmospheric observation and lunar and interplanetary exploration have become the basis for the environmental sciences.

And, of equal importance is, we test ARES in the Earth's atmosphere, at 100,000 feet, which is comparable to the density and pressure of the atmosphere on Mars where we'll fly.

Auroras and the atmosphere Auroras result from emissions of photons in the Earth's upper atmosphere, above , from ionized nitrogen atoms regaining an electron, and oxygen atoms and nitrogen based molecules returning from an excited state to ground state.

Hydrogen, oxygen, carbon and sulfur have been detected in the planet's inflated atmosphere.

It has close links to meteorology and climatology and also covers the design and construction of instruments for studying the atmosphere and the interpretation of the data they provide, including remote sensing instruments.

I would love to talk about my astronomy, but I suspect that the number of people who are interested in radiative transfer in non gray atmospheres and polarization of light in Jupiter's upper atmosphere are the number of people who'd fit in a bus shelter.

We know from measurements that greenhouse gases are accumulating in Earth s atmosphere.

They are ionized or excited by the collision of particles precipitated into the atmosphere.

Many of these particles probably derive from the hot atmospheric corona.

This point signifies a shift from a reducing atmosphere to an oxidizing atmosphere.

a chemical change at the interface between the atmosphere and the other compartments of the planet.

The atmosphere of Jupiter is the largest planetary atmosphere in the Solar System.

Chemical oceanography, or marine (or ocean) chemistry, is the study of the chemistry of the ocean and its chemical interaction with the atmosphere.
