Atmospheric sampling is the process of collecting data or physical measurements from layers of the atmosphere to study conditions such as composition, temperature, pressure, particles, or radio-frequency behavior. Organizations use it for climate research, communications development, navigation studies, surveillance applications, and other scientific programs that require direct access to high-altitude environments.
