What the CARE experiment hopes to do is to create an artificial dust layer," Scales told SPACE.com. "Hopefully it's a creation in a controlled sense, which will allow scientists to study different aspects of it, the turbulence generated on the inside, the distribution of dust particles and such."

Normally I'd say "WOW, this is kinda a cool experiment by NASA" ... but given their recent penchant for bowing towards the Global Warming™ crowd, I would put reservations on the purpose of this near-space experiment.

Oh, wonderful, now they are experimenting with climate control, just what we need.
