For example , from geosynchronous orbit , one could observe the diurnal cycle of atmospheric ozone , including its spatial variability , horizontal transport , and vertical exchange associated with weather and climate processes . This data will help scientists understand why the vast Amazon region appears to fluctuate between being a net source of carbon to the atmosphere and a net sink for atmospheric carbon . In place since April 2002 , this site collects continuous measurements of tropical cloud and atmospheric properties . On geologic timescales , atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are controlled by the balance between volcanic out-gassing and consumption of CO2 through silicate chemical weathering . Recording media made using the polymers would make it possible for today 's commercially-available video cameras to correct for atmospheric turbulence and take images through fog , clouds and smoke , according to the researchers .
