Every Day, Tons Of Viruses Are Swept Into The Sky And Fall Back Down To Earth 

Scientists now think they understand why so many viruses seem able to exist in widely varying ecosystems on Earth.

There are an enormous number of viruses that get sucked up into the outer atmosphere and then fall out of the sky and scatter across the globe, according to new research published in the International Society for Microbial Ecology Journal.

Viruses are carried into the planetary boundary layer, the lowest level of the troposphere, the closest atmospheric level to the Earth's surface, via sea spray and soil dust, Suttle says.

"Every day, more than 800 million viruses are deposited per square meter (11 square feet) above the planetary boundary layer," he says.

Among the viruses, scientists found much less bacteria in the planetary boundary layer – just tens of millions per square meter.

"Bacteria and viruses are typically deposited back to Earth via rain events and Saharan dust intrusions. However, the rain was less efficient removing viruses from the atmosphere," said author and microbial ecologist Isabel Reche from the University of Granada.
