NASA's Sky Guardians: Enhancing Air Quality from Streets to Stratosphere

Discover how NASA and NOAA, alongside other agencies, joined forces in the summer of 2023 to advance our understanding of the air we breathe through the STAQS and AEROMMA missions, with the primary objective of calibrating and validating NASA's cutting-edge TEMPO satellite. 🛰️💨

The collaborative efforts of these missions have a dual purpose: to provide more accurate measurements of air quality and its major pollutants, while simultaneously working towards tangible improvements in air quality, addressing the full spectrum from city streets to the stratosphere. 🌆🌌

Witness the extensive documentation of their August 2023 campaign leg, set against the backdrop of the bustling Chicago region, as they strive to enhance the quality of the air we rely on for life. 🏙️✨ #CleanAir #environmentalscience #AirQuality #TEMPOsatellite
