Atmospheric Sounding on Civil Engineering applications
Atmospheric Sounding on Civil Engineering applications
(OP)
Greetings to all fellow engineers!
I'm currently doing a project on utilising satellite-based atmospheric sounding profiles (e.g. parameters such as temperature, pressure, humidity) for civil engineering applications.
I've been doing up some reading and realised that there has been minimal literature on such studies, probably due to the fact that atmospheric profiles are mostly high up above Earth's surface and may not have direct implications on civil engineering aspects.
So I'm wondering if anyone has come across any field of study that encompasses such? It will be most helpful!
Thanks all and have a great day.

Independent events are seldomly independent.

Orbiting satellites are only a few hundred kilometres above the Earth's surface. They move all the time, so data can only be received when they are above your horizon. Being closer to the Earth the data provided will show a smaller area in more detail.
The weather industry makes use of the data, try that discipline for more information.
It does seem practical to attempt to obtain precise data from a moving satellite that may or may not be overhead for hours at a time.
