AP–01 / EARTH SYSTEMS
Meridian↗
A concept for looking at the atmosphere as one connected system. Meridian explores how an observation program could make complex planetary patterns easier to understand.
RESEARCH FOCUSAtmospheric patterns
INSTRUMENT DIRECTIONMultispectral imaging concept
STATUSConcept study
How could a sequence of observations reveal patterns that a single image cannot?
Study broad structures first, then compare smaller regions over time. This concept emphasizes consistent framing, visible uncertainty, and an understandable record of each observation.
