Space-Based Remote Sensing Yielding New Insights into Climate Change
From tracking ash plumes from volcanic eruptions to measuring water vapor, multispectral imagers, IR sensors and lidar systems in space are yielding critical data leading to better forecasting models and long-term insights into global climate change. In the past decade, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), along with their international partners, have embarked on a number of critical missions that are helping
