The pressure exerted by the atmosphere as a consequence of gravitational attraction exerted upon the 'column' of air lying directly above the point in question.
Accurate early warnings of poor air quality are useful because they give people the option to reduce their risk of exposure to poor air by limiting outdoor activity at these times. Air quality forecasters use near real-time (NRT) data from NASA's Land, Atmosphere Near real-time Capability for Earth observation ( LANCE ) to improve some local ...
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.
The Earthdata Developer Portal is for application developers who wish to build applications that search, access, and browse Earth science data archived by NASA's Earth Observing System Data and Information System ().
(Also called aqueous vapor, moisture.) Water substance in vapor form; one of the most important of all constituents of the atmosphere.Air in motion relative to the surface of the earth. Definition source: National Snow and Ice Data Center
Name Spatial Coverate Temporal Coverate Parameters; CryoSat-2 Level-1B Waveforms, Sea Ice Elevation, and Surface Roughness, Version 1 (RDWES1B)
The TCSP mission collected data for research and documentation of cyclogenesis, the interaction of temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind and air pressure that creates ideal birthing conditions for tropical storms, hurricanes and related phenomena.
To assist public health, environmental, and air quality researchers in their investigations of pollution’s effects on human health, NASA’s Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center created an Air Quality Data for Health-Related Applications data collection that currently consists of three data products. The datasets were developed by a ...
In this case, it was the unusual high-pressure area over western Russia that caused wind patterns to shift the entire South Asian monsoon north and east. It also pulled cold, dry Siberian air over the lower latitudes, which collided with the seasonal warm, moist air arriving over Pakistan from the Bay of Bengal.
Carrying a payload of air pressure, temperature and humidity probes, the aircraft can fly at altitudes from near the surface to 21,000 feet at speeds of 50-95 mph for periods of up to 30 hours. Controlled by dual computers and navigated by GPS, the Aerosonde is designed to economically collect meteorological data over a wide area.
