Can We Use Hypersonic Reentry to Help Map Upper Atmospheric Weather Using Infrasound Created
Scientists have learned quite a bit about upper atmosphere weather patterns.
You see things move around a lot up there, it's not like the ionosphere starts at a certain altitude evenly around the globe.
In many cases it's like a flickering flame, meaning it is quite uneven.
Further, things are complicated when there are solar flares and our atmosphere is compressed.
If we are shooting a rocket up into space or some astronauts, we need to know where certain parts of the atmosphere and the density involved are great, or lessened.
How can we learn about this? We could by using satellites and beaming sound and light waves across at different angles.
But there may be a better way to map at all.
In the future we might have hypersonic spacecraft, and you may be able to get on an airliner at LaGuardia or LAX and fly to Beijing in one hour and 15 minutes.
Well, if you did that we could use the shockwaves, and the disruptions of the hypersonic craft moving through the atmosphere at different levels to help map the density in 3-D.
Let me explain my concept a little more to you here, and then give you some time to think about it.
There was an interesting article and story on CNN titled; "Planet of sound: Meteor blast resonated around Earth," by Matt Smith, published on February 28, 2013 which stated; "The meteor that exploded over the steppes of southwestern Russia sent a low-frequency rumble bouncing through the Earth, giving scientists new clues about the biggest cosmic intruder in a century," and "it was "first-year physics" to figure out the approximate size and weight," and "The nuclear test monitors pick up "infrasound", or low frequency, waves from about 20 meteors per year, "if conditions are right, perhaps as small as a pea.
" Now then, if we were able to do this without trying, we should be able to create sensors to pick up information on a spacecraft moving through the upper atmosphere into the lower atmosphere and how it disrupts white noise, and how the waves it creates travel faster or slower to various points such as satellites, or ground radar systems.
The more we map the upper atmosphere and the changes which occur during solar flares, different weather patterns in the lower atmosphere, and during the Moon cycle, the better we can predict how much fuel we need to send a rocket into space or to allow for safe hypersonic air travel around the planet.
We need this data, and we need to devise a way to view it with 3-D imagery from all the data we collect.
Indeed I hope you will please consider all this and think on it.
