Remote sensing is an important tool in meteorological and environmental monitoring, allowing for the observation and collection of data on the atmosphere and Earth's condition from a distance. This technology uses satellites, drones, and sensors to gather information about the weather, air quality, forests, water bodies, and much more.

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.
