Observations acquired from space contribute significantly to scientific understanding of the Earth's atmosphere. The atmosphere alters electromagnetic radiation, propagating through it in such a way that atmospheric properties can be gleaned from the interaction. Observations are broadly characterized into “active” and “passive” types, according to the source of the radiant energy.
