  2. Thermosphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermosphere

    It is convenient to separate the atmospheric regions according to the two temperature minima at an altitude of about 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) (the tropopause) and at about 85 kilometres (53 mi) (the mesopause) (Figure 1). The thermosphere (or the upper atmosphere) is the height region above 85 kilometres (53 mi), while the region between the ...

    MIGHTI was designed to detect wind speeds as low as 16 km/h (9.9 mph), even though the spacecraft was traveling at over 23,000 km/h (14,000 mph) (to stay in orbit). [19] IVM collected in situ data about ions in the local environment around the spacecraft, whereas EUV and FUV were spectrographic imagers. EUV was a 1-dimension limb imager ...

  4. COSPAR International Reference Atmosphere - Wikipedia

    Presently "CIRA 1986" or CIRA-86 covers the height range up to 120 km as a set of tables. In the thermosphere, above about 100 km, CIRA-86 is identical to the more complicated NASA MSIS-86 model. All models are now available on the Web. The task group takes account of more recent data at bi-annual meetings in connection to COSPAR meeting.

  5. Packet Tracer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_Tracer

    As of Packet Tracer 5.0, Packet Tracer supports a multi-user system that enables multiple users to connect multiple topologies together over a computer network. [6] Packet Tracer also allows instructors to create activities that students have to complete. [citation needed] Packet Tracer is often used in educational settings as a learning aid.

  6. Microwave Sounding Unit temperature measurements - Wikipedia

    TMT and TLT represent the altitude range computed lower troposphere temperature calculated using an atmospheric model as discussed below. The T4 or TLS channel in representative of the temperature in the lower stratosphere with a peak weighting function at around 17 km above the Earth surface. Calculation of lower troposphere temperature

  7. Atmospheric temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_temperature

    Following the tropopause is the stratosphere. This layer extends from the tropopause to the stratopause, which is located at an altitude of about 50 km (31 mi). Temperatures remain constant with height from the tropopause to an altitude of 20 km (12 mi), after which they start to increase with height.

  8. TIMED - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TIMED

    The Mesosphere, Lower Thermosphere and Ionosphere (MLTI) region of the atmosphere to be studied by TIMED is located between 60 and 180 kilometres (37 and 112 mi) above the Earth's surface, where energy from solar radiation is first deposited into the atmosphere. This can have profound effects on Earth's upper atmospheric regions, particularly ...

  9. Atmospheric tide - Wikipedia

    It is an external mode of class 2 and has the eigenvalue of ε 1 −2 = −12.56. Its maximum pressure amplitude on the ground is about 60 Pa. [5] The largest solar semidiurnal wave is mode (2, 2) with maximum pressure amplitudes at the ground of 120 Pa. It is an internal class 1 wave. Its amplitude increases exponentially with altitude.
