The global observations of atmospheric properties enabled<br />by satellite-based instruments have proved to be a key in this regard,<br />because land-, aircraft-, and balloon-based measurements<br />have limited coverage, especially over the oceans."<br /><br /><br />National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine 2019.
