- Atmosphere | NASA Earthdata
Earth's atmosphere is a layer of mixed gases approximately 60 miles high that provides the air we breathe, shields us from dangerous levels of ultraviolet light from the sun, and traps enough heat to maintain a livable environment NASA's satellites make atmospheric measurements that scientists use to study its chemistry and air quality, weather, and climate change We have thousands of data
- LAADS DAAC | NASA Earthdata
NASA's Level-1 and Atmosphere Archive and Distribution System Distributed Active Archive Center primarily provides access to global science data products from MODIS and VIIRS
- Atmospheric Ozone | NASA Earthdata
Atmospheric Ozone is one of the most important trace gases in our atmosphere that both benefits and harms life on Earth High ground-level ozone amounts contribute to poor air quality, adversely affecting human health, agricultural productivity, and forested ecosystems Ozone absorbs infrared radiat
- Surface Temperature | NASA Earthdata
Surface temperature or surface air temperature (SAT) generally refer to the temperature of the atmosphere measured at approximately 6 5 feet (about 2 meters) above the ground or ocean surface SAT is most of often the temperature meteorologists refer to in weather reports and forecasts, and is an essential data point in a vast number of Earth science studies, predictions, and decision-making
- VIIRS-Atmosphere Near Real-Time Data - NASA Earthdata
Near real-time atmosphere data from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) are available through NASA's Land, Atmosphere Near real-time Capability for Earth observation (LANCE)
- Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide - NASA Earthdata
One of the major greenhouse gases Atmospheric carbon dioxide is caused mainly by the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation The chemical formula for carbon dioxide is CO2 Long-term measurements of CO2 in the atmosphere are conducted at Manua Loa, Hawaii and several international monitoring sta
- Humidity | NASA Earthdata
Humidity is a measure of water vapor in the atmosphere There are measures of absolute humidity, which is the grams of water vapor present per cubic meter of air Specific humidity is the grams of water per kilogram of air Then there’s the one people are most familiar with, relative humidity, which is the percentage of water vapor present in the air relative to the maximum it could hold at
