Aerology studies the processes occurring in the near-surface atmospheric layer. To do this, atmospheric parameters are measured at various altitudes, thus studying the vertical profile of the atmosphere. Aerological measurements are typically carried out using a radiosonde, for example.

One of the initiatives of the European Union is the Copernicus programme, which focuses on the comprehensive monitoring of the Earth's environment and atmosphere and information sharing. This ambitious initiative was created to provide research, innovation and information to understand and protect our planet and its resources better.
