Band 10 brings to ALMA a broad range of capabilities, which — among other things — enables astronomers and planetary scientists to study and monitor temperature
changes at different altitudes above the clouds of Uranus and other giant planets in our Solar System.

Changing wind forces
at different altitudes determines weather systems, PNNL researchers found
Important manifestations of such external forcing from space to the atmosphere are the variations in
different solar parameters such as the solar irradiance (including solar UV) and solar particle fluxes, which can induce
changes in the atmosphere both
at local and global scales, and can influence over a large range of
altitudes.

at different altitudes in the atmosphere (see Question 5).
Elsewhere, you've cited near - surface temperature inversions as examples of non-linearity, but globally, how close are we to linearity as a means if estimating surface temperature
