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 ...
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
NASA's air quality data allow users to measure pollutants in the atmosphere and track their health and socioeconomic impact on people.
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).
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.
Clouds are made of water and or ice, come in more than a dozen types, and range in altitude from ground level to 280,000 feet high in Earth’s atmosphere. They water our lands, are part of the fury of hurricanes, both warm and cool the planet, and at times, interfere with completing important observations or tasks.
NASA's Atmosphere Science Investigator-led Processing System (SIPS) is responsible for processing, reprocessing, production, and general assessments of joint NASA/NOAA Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP) VIIRS atmosphere products.
Researchers taught the SatVision Top-of-Atmosphere foundation model to recognize MODIS imagery features.
