Planetary Context & Unexplained Physics

From unexpected mesospheric airglow brightenings to rapid thermal inversions and polar geometric vortices, planetary atmospheres continually defy equilibrium hydrodynamics. This simulator models the interaction of acoustic-gravity wave propagation, ionization cascades, and baroclinic shears.

Active Diagnostic Telemetry

Current run evaluates a 0–120 km Earth-Analog column. Atmospheric density scales exponentially from 1.225 kg/m³ to <10⁻⁶ kg/m³ in the ionosphere, allowing even minor low-altitude kinetic perturbations to amplify exponentially as they rise.
