- 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
- Atmospheric Rivers | NASA Earthdata
NASA’s Earth-observing satellites help scientists identify atmospheric rivers, which enables studies of climate change, water management, and weather
- Atmospheric Science Data Center | NASA Earthdata
NASA's Atmospheric Science Data Center projects focus on Earth science disciplines including radiation budget, clouds, aerosols, and tropospheric composition
- New Jupyter Notebook GitHub Repository Offers Tips and Scripts for . . .
NASA’s Atmospheric Science Data Center (ASDC) recently debuted its new GitHub online collaboration and code-sharing page offering tutorials, scripts, and guides for using data from a variety of sources such as the Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring Pollution (TEMPO) instrument The files available in the ASDC Data and User Services GitHub repository help users in working with ASDC-managed
- Atmospheric Infrared Sounder | 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
- AIRS Near Real-Time Data - NASA Earthdata
Launched in 2002, the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) instrument aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite provides 3D measurements of temperature, water vapor, trace gases, and surface and cloud properties through the atmospheric column Near real-time (NRT) AIRS data are available through NASA's Land, Atmosphere Near real-time Capability for Earth observation (LANCE) generally within 75 to 140
- Building on Records of Atmospheric Composition - Earthdata
Tropospheric soundings from Earth observing satellite instruments provide critical information about atmospheric composition and its impact on human health and climate TROPESS uses these sounding data to generate Earth System Data Records (ESDRs) of ozone and other atmospheric constituents by processing data from multiple satellites through a common retrieval algorithm and ground data system
- 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
