- 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
- 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
- Atmospheric Rivers - NASA Earthdata
NASA’s Earth-observing satellites help scientists identify atmospheric rivers, which enables studies of climate change, water management, and weather
- Dust Ash Smoke Near Real-Time Data | NASA Earthdata
Near real-time data provided by NASA's Land, Atmosphere Near real-time Capability for Earth observation (LANCE) can be used to monitor and predict dust storms, identify and track smoke plumes, and identify and track ash plumes from volcanic eruptions
- 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)
- 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
- 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
- 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
