A NASA rocket team will soon begin its mission to study giant, hurricane-like swirls in the upper atmosphere to understand weather patterns that impact the whole planet.
in the town of Andenes in northern Norway. The launch window will be between March 17 and 26, according to the Andøya Space Center.
According to NASA, buoyancy waves occur when a gust or disturbance suddenly pushes denser air upwards into a lower-pressure region, creating an oscillation as the atmosphere tries to balance itself out. As buoyancy waves ripple out, they may also move upwards and pass through stable layers of the atmosphere. In doing so, they can produce giant swirls of air.
According to NASA, the VortEx mission will use four rockets that will be launched two at a time. Each pair consists of one high-flyer and one low-flyer, launched a few minutes apart.
