Atmosphere Below, The

Shows that changes in Earth's atmosphere are investigated from outer space onboard the Shuttle using the Atmospheric Laboratory for Applications and Science (ATLAS 1). Space Shuttle astronauts explain the questions scientists hope can be answered by studying Earth's atmosphere from space. Experiments discussed in this videotape focus on infrared detection of atmospheric remnants from volcanic eruptions, ozone concentration levels, and incoming solar ultraviolet radiation with respect to global warming, among others.
