Visualizing the atmosphere

If one could see the atmosphere, what would it look like if all the different gases could be seen?

Would there be layers and bubbles of different gas or a mixture of layers and bubbles of gas, or no bubbles at all?

Air is mainly composed of nitrogen, oxygen, and argon,

These Mammatus clouds look impressive

Although the composition of the atmosphere varies vertically, it is not neatly differentiated into layers by composition.

It would be more boring than the clouds. All the gases are mixed throughout the whole of the atmosphere, with only slow gradations such as more hydrogen at high levels, more ozone in the stratosphere (due to the dissociation of oxygen by cosmic rays) and more carbon dioxide at lower levels. Ozone is a bit more interesting in distribution than other gases because it’s lowest near the poles where cosmic rays from the Sun seldom hit. Clouds are more interesting because the combination of density difference and heating from latent heat causes convection. The Aurora of the ionosphere is more interesting because the magnetic fields are affected by the ions.

Summary: boring.
