NASA's AWE Mission to Decode Mysteries of Space Weather Drivers

On 9th November, 2023, NASA launched the Atmospheric Waves Experiment (AWE), a ground-breaking mission aimed at dissecting one of the significant contributors to space weather – Earth's own weather patterns.

Key Points

  • Understanding Gravity Waves: Gravity waves, akin to ripples on a pond's surface, are atmospheric phenomena created by vertical displacement of stable air, often triggered by extreme weather events.
  • These waves, including Atmospheric Gravity Waves (AGW), play a crucial role in weather, climate, and space weather.
  • Dynamic Atmosphere: AGWs are predominantly generated in a stable atmosphere where temperature differences cause rising air to exert force, creating a continuous rising and ....
