He is best known for his research on the structure of the atmosphere, particularly for his work on the stratosphere. In 1899, he conducted groundbreaking experiments using kites and balloons to ascend into the upper layers of the atmosphere, which allowed him to measure temperature and other atmospheric conditions at various altitudes.
