The middle atmosphere is a region of the atmosphere extending from about 10 km altitude up to near the edge of space (about 85 km altitude). The stratosphere, which is the lowest part of the middle atmosphere, has become an important area of research because changes in the nature of the stratosphere are coupled to changes at the Earth's surface that effect our daily lives. We will study satellite measurements of the atmosphere to investigate the processes and trends that take place in the stratosphere. In particular, we will use measurements from the Canadian OSIRIS satellite instrument. These measurements, which essentially cover the globe every day, can be used to detect the amount and vertical structure of ozone, clouds, and aerosols, which in this context may be small liquid droplets or particles of dust, smoke or ice.

中间大气是一个大气区域，从约10公里的高度延伸至空间边缘附近（海拔约85公里）。 平流层是中间大气中最低的部分，它已成为研究的重要领域，因为平流层性质的变化与地球表面的变化耦合，从而影响我们的日常生活。 我们将研究大气的卫星测量结果，以研究平流层中发生的过程和趋势。 特别是，我们将使用加拿大奥西里斯卫星仪器的测量结果。 这些测量值本质上每天覆盖地球，可用于检测臭氧，云层和气溶胶的量和垂直结构，在这种情况下，这可能是小液滴或灰尘，烟雾或冰的小液滴或颗粒。
