the stability of the air
The layers of atmosphere are different according to their functions. They are at different heights.
atmosphere it has the highest layer
Clouds can change into other clouds as they move from different heights in the atmosphere. The temperature, wind and other air masses affect the clouds appearance and characteristics.
A type of radar that continuously measures the wind, moisture, and temperature of the upper atmosphere is called a Doppler wind profiler. It works by emitting radio waves into the atmosphere and measuring the Doppler shift of the waves reflected off of particles in the air, allowing for calculations of wind speed and direction at different heights.
Clouds can be found at varying altitudes, typically ranging from 0.6 to 12 miles above the Earth's surface. The altitude of clouds is determined by factors such as air temperature, humidity, and air pressure. These factors influence the condensation and formation of water droplets in the atmosphere, leading to the creation of clouds at different heights.
Thermometer towers work by measuring temperature variations at different levels in the atmosphere. They are equipped with multiple sensors at different heights to capture temperature data. As air rises or sinks, it passes over these sensors, allowing scientists to track temperature changes with altitude.
The layers of the atmosphere, from lowest to highest, are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. Their approximate heights are: troposphere (up to 12 km), stratosphere (12-50 km), mesosphere (50-85 km), thermosphere (85-600 km), and exosphere (600+ km).
The atmosphere extends to great lengths. The ozone however extends to 25 km.
Because Of Air Pressure.
Cumulonimbus clouds typically reach heights of 20,000 to 60,000 feet in the atmosphere.
Radar satellites locate clouds and measure heights while orbiting earth above the atmosphere, and ground stations hold instruments that measure air pressure, temperature, dew point, etc.
