- Air Mass Density | NASA Earthdata
Air mass density is a fundamental property of atmosphere Mixture of gases forming Earth's atmosphere, consisting of nitrogen (∼78%), oxygen (∼21%), water vapor, and other trace gases such as carbon dioxide, helium, argon, ozone, or various pollutants The concentration of water vapor is very variab
- Precipitation | NASA Earthdata
NASA's rain, snow, and other precipitation data are essential for understanding how water shapes and effects Earth's natural and human environments
- AIRS | NASA Earthdata
The Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) is a hyperspectral sounder that collects daily global measurements of water vapor and temperature profiles as one of four instruments comprising the AIRS Project Instrument Suite When launched in 2002, the AIRS Project Instrument Suite was the most advanced atmospheric sounding system ever deployed in space AIRS data are combined with data from the
- 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
- 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
