Abstract

Earth’s atmosphere is usually air layer of the solid Earth outer, which is an important part of the Earth’s natural environment. It is the condition indispensable to the survival of life on Earth and also protective for life on Earth. With developments and advances in space technologies, human activities are involving into the upper atmosphere and space, and therefore monitoring and study on Earth’s atmosphere and space environments have become an international hot topic.
