HIRAD
 
NASA supported scientists use HIRAD (Hurricane Imaging Radiometer) to forecast hurricanes by seeing through hurricane rain and clouds to measure wind at ocean surfaces.

Arctic Melting
 
A NASA-led study has found some alarming melting trends in the two types of Arctic ice.

TerraPass   
 
TerraPass and Expedia have formed a partnership to balance out the “carbon footprint” left by greenhouse gas emissions created by air travel.

GEOSS
 
One international group is working toward creating a system to standardize all satellite, sensors and computer programs that monitor the Earth and its atmosphere.

Undular Bores    
 
Undular Bores, created when two air masses of different temperatures collide, play a surprising role in severe weather.

PLATO
 
On January 11, 2008, an expedition team made history when they arrived at the highest point of the Antarctic plateau.

ARCTAS
 
NASA and its partners are studying the Arctic’s lower atmosphere to identify how air pollution contributes to climate changes in the Arctic.

Jason-2/OSTM
 
The Ocean Surface Topography Mission, or OSTM, is an international study of our oceans’ effects on weather, climate and response to global climate change.

Glory Satellite Sensor
 
The NASA Glory satellite has a mission that will determine the impact that aerosols have on global warming and climate change.

Air Quality Reports
 
Satellites help meteorologists forecast weather for days to come, but Air Quality reports are currently only available on a daily basis. That's set to change.

NASA's A-Train
 
Six different satellites aboard NASA's A-Train are helping scientists learn about the changing global climate.

Noxious Lightning
 
Recent studies have shown that lighting actually affects air quality and global climate.

Drought and Warm Ocean
 
A recent study has shown a shocking link between African drought and a warming Indian Ocean – and the future isn’t looking bright.

Aerosols & Climate
 
Can a man-made fire in the Amazon change the course of the weather? The forecast is surprising!

Arctic Sea Ice Decline
 
Summer has become a very busy season in the Arctic – and NASA scientists are keeping a close eye on all the activity!

Orbiting Carbon Observatory
 
NASA scientists are hoping a new mission will help turn the tide on Earth’s oceans – and help prevent a serious problem from becoming catastrophic.

NF3 Problem
 
New research is suggesting that there is more to worry about when it comes to the greenhouse gases we thought we knew.
