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
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
Sun-Earth Interactions - NASA Earthdata NASA collects data on the Sun and its energy to understand how our closest star impacts Earth's energy fields, atmosphere, weather, and human activity
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 Temperature - NASA Earthdata Temperature can vary greatly at different levels of Earth's atmosphere Measuring atmospheric temperatures is essential for many forms of scientific work including weather forecasting and studying climate processes, and for conducting human activities such as flying aircraft, agriculture, and controlling pollution
Aerosol Optical Depth Thickness - NASA Earthdata Aerosol optical depth (AOD) is an assessment of the amount of visible and infrared light aerosols scatter or absorb in a column of the atmosphere, and is sometimes referred to as aerosol optical thickness (AOT) AOD is a unitless measure From an observer on the ground, an AOD of less than 0 1 is characteristic of a clear sky, bright Sun, and maximum visibility As AOD increases to 0 5, 1 0
Air Quality - NASA Earthdata NASA's air quality data allow users to measure pollutants in the atmosphere and track their health and socioeconomic impact on people
Land, Atmosphere Near real-time Capability for Earth observation | NASA . . . NASA's Land, Atmosphere Near real-time Capability for Earth observation (LANCE) supports users interested in monitoring a wide variety of natural and human-created phenomena using near real-time (NRT) data and imagery that are made available much quicker than routine processing allows
Sulfur Dioxide - NASA Earthdata NASA's Earth satellites collect data about sulfur dioxide and other atmospheric trace gases to study their impact on health, air quality, and weather
