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 ...

Testing for nitrogen in your local watershed can help identify potential “œhot spots” in your community that may be contributing to nutrient loading downstream. With a simple, inexpensive field test ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorous are not directly measurable with satellite observations. However, satellites can measure chlorophyll concentration, which can act as somewhat of a proxy for ...

How to achieve maximum data consistency and meet the needs of data users? The options available to the Terra project for using its remaining fuel expanded when the altitude-lowering criteria for ...
