The CERES website informs a broad audience about CERES data and products. The CERES team has been collecting ERB data since 1997, when the first CERES instrument was launched aboard the Tropical ...

It’s all a matter of perspective: measuring rain from the ground. Citizen scientists can contribute much to the understanding of rainfall patterns by reporting precipitation totals at their location.

There are many ways to gauge air quality. The most common measure is visibility, since most of the constituents of air pollution form visible haze. You can use your own observations and a digital ...

When the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument on NASA’s Terra satellite passed over northern Minnesota on May 12, 2013, spring had transformed winter’s snowy white ...

The Science Team Leader for ASTER, Dr. Yasushi Yamaguchi, is a professor at the Graduate School of Environmental Studies, Nagoya University, Japan. He graduated Tohoku University, Japan, and obtained ...

To improve air quality, it is important to know what contributes to polluting the air. Haze comes from a variety of sources. Your skies may be hazy from local traffic, or industry such as for example ...

The map above shows land surface temperature anomalies in North America for January 1-7, 2014. Based on data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite, ...

A layer of haze filled China’s Sichuan Basin on January 23, 2014, when the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite acquired this natural-color image. The haze ...

Rarely do weather patterns and satellite overpass schedules align to provide cloud-free views of Western Europe in the spring. However, a high-pressure pattern kept skies spectacularly clear over the ...

How successfully do rain gauges catch rainfall patterns? Do the satellites record the same patterns of data as the ground-based gauges? How many gauges are required in order to observe regional ...

Posted on September 18, 2013 by Sciencecodex.com When NASA’s Terra satellite passed over Tropical Storm Humberto on Sept. 17, the MODIS instrument aboard took a picture of the storm and it resembled ...

In June of 2016, Dr. Helen Worden became the U.S. Principal Investigator for MOPITT. She is interested in multi-decadal trends of carbon monoxide that indicate changing emissions of pollution with ...
