- Atmospheric Rivers - NASA Earthdata
NASA’s Earth-observing satellites help scientists identify atmospheric rivers, which enables studies of climate change, water management, and weather
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- MAMS | NASA Earthdata
The Multispectral Atmospheric Mapping Sensor (MAMS) is a multispectral scanner which measures reflected radiation from the Earth's surface and clouds in 8 visible near infrared channels, as well as thermal emission from the surface, clouds, and atmospheric constituents (primarily water vapor) in four infrared bands The scanner views a 37 kilometer wide scene of Earth from the ER-2 altitude of
- Aerosol Optical Depth Thickness - NASA Earthdata
The degree to which aerosols prevent light from passing through is known as aerosol optical depth or thickness Optical depth thickness depends upon the physical constitution, the form, and the concentration of particles
