Extract

It should not be necessary to explain the presence of a meteorologist at a symposium on any aspect of upper atmosphere research. Meteorologists understand their science to comprise the dynamics, thermodynamics and chemistry of atmospheres, wherever atmospheres occur. They are happy to have the facilities for observation and even experiment in the higher layers of the earth's atmosphere which rocket and satellite vehicles begin to provide, but can point to a considerable body of existing knowledge obtained by other means.
