The Warming Stripes have been extended again into the mesosphere to help highlight risks to our climate monitoring capabilities. Like the stratosphere, the mesosphere is cooling due to the greenhouse effect & also shows solar cycle variations. (Thanks to @sosprey.bsky.social for the data.) But...

A greater awareness and scrutiny of the upper atmosphere is a must to inform on impacts and future regulation of satellite reentry. Let’s hope upcoming missions like the European www.cairt.eu and similar US missions go forward.

Cooking up a stratospheric polar vortex disruption
Recent atmospheric patterns don't match those that typically precede a sudden stratospheric warming event. But forecasts do suggest the polar vortex might get stretched out of shape in coming weeks.
