Stratospheric Science and Beyond Future Prospects and Challenges

Kaleb Michelson

This article explores the present state of stratospheric science and delves into the exciting prospects and daunting
challenges that lie ahead. The stratosphere, a critical component of Earth's atmosphere, is of paramount importance
for climate and environmental health. Current achievements in understanding the stratosphere, such as ozone
depletion mitigation and improved circulation modeling, provide a foundation for future research. The prospects for
stratospheric science encompass climate change implications, stratosphere-troposphere interactions, geoengineering
considerations, and continued exploration. Challenges include monitoring and data collection, assessing the risks of
geoengineering, fostering international cooperation, and ensuring sufficient funding. By addressing these prospects
and challenges, scientists and policymakers can work together to safeguard the stratosphere and our planet's future.
