This has important implications for the atmosphere since the turbulence generated by breaking waves contributes to complete mixing of the air up to the very base of space. NEW REMOTE SENSING SCHEMES Making these wave phenomena manifest by using incoherent scatter radar techniques or using TMA and meteor trails is not the only way to detect upper atmospheric waves (Figure 12~.

This will increase the number of major Earthbound space weather observatories to 10, giving Spaceship Earth a reasonable number of portholes through which to view its surrounding environment. Two important specific consequences of internal waves are treated next, one dealing with global change and the upper atmosphere, and one with space weather.
