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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

In January 2013, intense bushfires blazed in Tasmania, an island south of Australia. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite captured this image showing ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A low-pressure system brought strong winds—gusting to 55 miles (85 kilometers) per hour —to the Southern Plains on March 18, 2014. The winds picked up exposed soil from the parched landscape, ...

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 ...
