Nevertheless, the SABRE plane gathered what scientists were hoping to get: mountains of data on the stratosphere.

Using all these new measurements, NOAA researchers will try to figure out what different compounds are doing up there.
, are lacking real-world atmospheric data, Frost said. “If that were to happen, we want to better understand what the implications would be.... If the world decides to start adding aerosols, we [want to] know how things are going to change.”Upon looking at the preliminary results, some new information is already apparent, Thornberry said.
Months from now, when all of the SABRE data has been cleaned-up, processed, and made publicly available, researchers worldwide will be able to truth many of their past atmospheric predictions and start making better ones. The answers to the enigma of our stratosphere are officially in the works. And a new level of clarity on how we can or should strive to change the atmosphere is forthcoming.
