AURA/OMI Tropospheric Ozone On a Flat Map
Aura's instruments study tropospheric, or low-level atmospheric chemistry and will monitor of air pollution around the world on a daily basis. Aura measures five of the six 'Criteria Pollutants' identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The complexity of pollution transport makes it difficult to quantify how much industry contributes to poor local air quality.
This animation shows ozone in the troposphere from September 28, 2004 to November 6, 2004. Areas of red represent high levels (50+ DU) and areas of blue represent low areas (20 DU).
