Can we precisely measure pressure, humidity, temperature at the Earth 
surface from the Earth orbit? How precisely can we determine the 
values? Why are we sure these are the values measured close to the 
ground or water? Is it possible to determine all the values at any 
height over the Earth surface? How long does it take the satelitte 
equipement to gather the data?
