- Atmospheric Rivers - NASA Earthdata
NASA’s Earth-observing satellites help scientists identify atmospheric rivers, which enables studies of climate change, water management, and weather
- Atmosphere | NASA Earthdata
NASA data help researchers characterize processes occurring within Earth’s atmosphere and their interactions with its land, ocean, and ecosystems
- 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
- 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
- Atmospheric Composition Variable Standard Names - Earthdata
Summary The Atmospheric Composition Variable Standard Name Convention (ACVSNC) provides a convention and heuristic for creating common variable names for atmospheric composition and chemistry measurements acquired during suborbital field campaigns The development of this convention was motivated by the ubiquity of the ICARTT file format within the community of atmospheric composition and
- 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
- AVAPS | NASA Earthdata
NASA's Airborne Vertical Atmospheric Profiling System (AVAPS), also known as the AVAPS Dropsonde System, is a key atmospheric instrument that measures high resolution vertical profiles of ambient temperature, pressure, humidity, wind speed and wind direction
- Lightning | NASA Earthdata
Lightning research has come a long way in the past few decades Looking back at Space Shuttle lightning experiments in the 1980s, we now have a better understanding of why lightning occurs and where, what lightning patterns exist over the globe, and what lightning tells us about atmospheric convection Most ground-based and airborne lightning sensors are only capable of detecting cloud-to
