ISS detects atmospheric waves caused by Hurricane Helene

The International Space Station (ISS) has detected atmospheric waves 55 miles above Earth, a phenomenon linked to Hurricane Helene. These waves, observed in the mesosphere, indicate a greater connection between surface weather and the upper atmosphere than previously understood. NASA's Atmospheric Wave Experiment (AWE) on the ISS captured these disturbances, which were invisible from the ground.

• ISS observed previously unseen atmospheric waves.
• Hurricane Helene caused disturbances 55 miles above Earth.
• NASA's AWE instrument detected these waves.
• The mesosphere's connection to surface weather is now clearer.
• This discovery reshapes understanding of atmospheric dynamics.
