Met Office scientists take a lively look at the fascinating history and science of weather and climate research. In this month’s episode we join the Mostly Weather team on a journey through the structure of the atmosphere – from the troposphere to the thermosphere and everything in between. Regular podcasters Claire, Doug and Niall walk/fly you through each layer, stopping off to discuss the characteristics and features along the way - such as how do atmospheric pressure levels work? and the answer to the question "what exactly is space?" The Met Office is the United Kingdom's national weather service. The Met Office website carries the latest UK and global weather forecasts, detailed information on weather types and climate science and UK weather records for previous months, seasons and years. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/

Transcript: The principle constituents of the early Earth’s atmosphere were nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. There was essentially no oxygen because oxygen has been produced by microbial organisms over the succeeding billions of years. Because there was almost no oxygen, there was also no ozone. Ozone acts as a protective shield in the upper atmosphere on the current Earth to protect life forms and organisms from damaging ultraviolet radiation which would otherwise cause cellular damage and alter the DNA itself. The fact that the early Earth had no oxygen or ozone means that it’s very unlikely that life got its start on the land masses of the early Earth because of the damaging effects of the radiation.
Transcript: The stability of the Earth’s atmosphere over billions of years has been impacted in part by the carbon dioxide cycle which has acted as a thermostat to regulate the temperature of the Earth, even over time spans when the Sun was changing its brightness or the amount of tectonic activity was varying. The basic chemical principle is that the rate at which carbonates form depend on temperature, and carbonates from faster when it’s hotter. Thus when the temperature increases, the rate of carbonate formation increases which means the rate at which they dissolve in the oceans increase, and the dissolution of carbon dioxide in the oceans removes it from the atmosphere thereby lowering the greenhouse effect which causes the temperature to fall. On the other hand, if the temperature of the Earth is reduced for any reason, the rate of carbonate formation also falls as does the rate of its dissolution in ocean water, which leads to more greenhouse gas, which leads to a higher temperature. Thus, the process is self-regulating.
