The Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere (AIM) satellite mission is exploring Polar Mesospheric Clouds (PMCs), also called noctilucent clouds, to find out why they form and why they are changing.
The AIM mission has been extended by NASA through the end of FY12. During this time the instruments will monitor noctilucent clouds to better understand their variability and possible connection to climate change. Individual instrument data collection status, as well as spacecraft and instrument health, will be monitored throughout the life of the mission and reported periodically on this earth
Hope this helps :)
What else can I help you with?
The process of collecting data about earth from far above earths surface?
Remote sensing.
What is portion of the atmosphere 10 to 25 miles above the earths surface is called?
Stratosphere by great usama
What the difference between an earthquake's focus and it epicentre?
The focus is the point in the earths crust where the earthquake originates and the epicentre is the point in the earths surface directly above the focus.
What is the earths surface point directly above an earth quakes focus?
The point directly above the focus of an earthquake is called the epicenter. It is usually the point of greatest destruction.
What is a loop of relatively cool incandescent gas that extends above the photosphere?
Nuclear fusion
Where does the mesosphere occur in earths atmosphere?
The mesosphere is the third layer of Earth's atmosphere, located above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere. It extends from about 31 miles (50 kilometers) to 53 miles (85 kilometers) above the Earth's surface.
How high does each layer of the atmosphere reach above the earths surface?
The Troposphere extends up to about 8-15 kilometers above Earth's surface. The Stratosphere reaches up to about 50 kilometers. The Mesosphere extends up to about 85 kilometers. The Thermosphere extends up to about 600 kilometers.
Do satellites go into the mesosphere?
No, satellite orbits are above the mesosphere in the thermosphere, which extends from about 100 to 600 km above the Earth's surface.
Is the stratosphere bigger than the mesosphere?
No, the stratosphere is not bigger than the mesosphere. The mesosphere is located above the stratosphere in Earth's atmosphere and extends from about 50-85 kilometers above the Earth's surface, while the stratosphere extends from about 10-50 kilometers.
How high is the mesosphere in km?
The mesosphere extends from about 50 to 85 kilometers (31 to 53 miles) above the Earth's surface.
Extends 50-85 km above earths surface?
troposphere
The third layer of the earths atmosphere?
The third layer of Earth's atmosphere is the mesosphere, located above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere. It extends from about 31 to 53 miles (50 to 85 kilometers) above the Earth's surface. Temperatures in the mesosphere decrease with altitude, reaching their coldest temperatures in the upper regions of this layer.
What is the depth of the earth's mesosphere?
The mesosphere extends from about 50 to 85 kilometers (31 to 53 miles) above the Earth's surface. It is the layer of the Earth's atmosphere that lies above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere.
What is the mesospheres altitude in meters?
The mesosphere extends from about 50 to 85 kilometers (31 to 53 miles) above the Earth's surface.
What is mesosphere location?
The mesosphere is the third layer of the Earth's atmosphere, located above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere. It extends from about 31 miles (50 kilometers) to 53 miles (85 kilometers) above the Earth's surface.
Extends 50-85 km above earth's surface?
The region described extends from approximately 50 to 85 kilometers above the Earth's surface, known as the mesosphere and lower thermosphere. This region is characterized by decreasing temperatures with altitude and is the location where most meteorites burn up upon entering Earth's atmosphere.
What is the upper half of the middle atmosphere?
The upper half of the middle atmosphere is known as the mesosphere. It extends from about 50 to 85 kilometers above the Earth's surface. Temperatures in the mesosphere can reach as low as -90 degrees Celsius.
