Atmospheric Radiation Measurement

Atmospheric radiation measurement is when we measure the amount of energy that is coming from the sun and entering our atmosphere. We measure this energy by using special instruments that pick up the radiation. The radiation we measure can tell us a lot about the atmosphere and our environment, for example it can tell us about air quality, air pressure, temperature, and even global warming. We can use this information to take better care of our environment.
