NOAA’s Latest GOES Weather Satellite Ready To Launch Next Week!", "description": "Join a NOAA expert on June 25, 2024 to celebrate the launch of the next and final installment of the GOES weather satellite series!From Earth weather to space weather, NOAA’s fleet of geostationary satellites play an important role in our everyday lives. And on June 25th, the fourth and final installation of the GOES-R series is set to launch from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. As the final satellite in NOAA’s GOES-R (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites) series, GOES-U will continue to provide fast, clear and reliable weather-tracking information. GOES-U will provide real-time data for monitoring severe weather, hurricanes, wildfires, floods, fog and even lightning. Not only that, GOES-U carries a suite of instruments, including the first operational compact coronagraph, to monitor the Sun and warn us of approaching space weather hazards. A coronagraph is an instrument that blocks out the bright disk of the Sun so that researchers can see our star’s fainter outer atmosphere where much of the solar activity originates. This new coronagraph will better detect and characterize coronal mass ejections. The GOES series of weather satellites are parked in a geostationary orbit at points over the equator and rotate at the same speed as the Earth. The fixed location provides continuous coverage of weather conditions across the Western hemisphere. Once in orbit GOES-U will be renamed GOES-19. After an on-orbit check out to ensure its instruments and systems are working properly, GOES-19 will go into service as GOES-East, replacing GOES-16. In this location, GOES-19 will watch over most of North America, including the contiguous United States and Mexico, as well as Central and South America, the Caribbean, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west coast of Africa.* Live interviews are available June 25, 2024, between 6 a.m. - 1 p.m. EDT* Click here to request an interview: https://forms.gle/ny5wyq2mP52hQcyu7* Requests sent via the above form will have scheduling priority.

This work has helped explain an unusual structure in the debris from the destroyed star called the “Green Monster”, first discovered in Webb data in April 2023. The research has also uncovered new details about the explosion that created Cas A about 340 years ago, from Earth’s perspective.A new composite image contains X-rays from Chandra (blue), infrared data from Webb (red, green, blue), and optical data from Hubble (red and white). The outer parts of the image also include infrared data from NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope (red, green and blue). The outline of the Green Monster can be seen by mousing over the image in the original feature, located here: chandra.cfa.harvard.edu/photo/2024/casa/.The Chandra data reveals hot gas, mostly from supernova debris from the destroyed star, including elements like silicon and iron. In the outer parts of Cas A the expanding blast wave is striking surrounding gas that was ejected by the star before the explosion. The X-rays are produced by energetic electrons spiraling around magnetic field lines in the blast wave. These electrons light up as thin arcs in the outer regions of Cas A, and in parts of the interior. Webb highlights infrared emission from dust that is warmed up because it is embedded in the hot gas seen by Chandra, and from much cooler supernova debris. The Hubble data shows stars in the field.Detailed analysis by the researchers found that filaments in the outer part of Cas A, from the blast wave, closely matched the X-ray properties of the Green Monster, including less iron and silicon than in the supernova debris. This interpretation is apparent from the color Chandra image, which shows that the colors inside the Green Monster’s outline best match with the colors of the blast wave rather than the debris with iron and silicon. The authors conclude that the Green Monster was created by a blast wave from the exploded star slamming into material surrounding it, supporting earlier suggestions from the Webb data alone.The debris from the explosion is seen by Chandra because it is heated to tens of millions of degrees by shock waves, akin to sonic booms from a supersonic plane. Webb can see some material that has not been affected by shock waves, what can be called “pristine” debris.Read more here: chandra.cfa.harvard.edu/photo/2024/casa/. || 53453268481_e80cfca2d4_o.jpg (4200x3386) [7.1 MB] || 53453268481_e80cfca2d4_o_searchweb.png (320x180) [121.1 KB] || 53453268481_e80cfca2d4_o_thm.png (80x40) [15.9 KB] || webb-chandra-hubble-and-spitzer-all-explore-cassiopeia-a-composite-all-4.hwshow || ", "hits": 404 }, { "id": 5303, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5303/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2024-05-30T14:00:00-04:00", "title": "NASA’s TEMPO Instrument Air Quality Data Now Publicly Available", "description": "The TEMPO instrument measured elevated levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) from a number of different areas and emission sources throughout the daytime on March 28, 2024.

Thousands of stars that exist in this region disappear – and seemingly endless layers of gas and dust become the centerpiece.The detection of dust by Webb’s Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) is extremely important – dust is a major ingredient for star formation. Many stars are actively forming in these dense blue-gray pillars. When knots of gas and dust with sufficient mass form in these regions, they begin to collapse under their own gravitational attraction, slowly heat up – and eventually form new stars.Although the stars appear missing, they aren’t. Stars typically do not emit much mid-infrared light. Instead, they are easiest to detect in ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared light. In this MIRI view, two types of stars can be identified. The stars at the end of the thick, dusty pillars have recently eroded the material surrounding them. They show up in red because their atmospheres are still enshrouded in cloaks of dust. In contrast, blue tones indicate stars that are older and have shed most of their gas and dust.Mid-infrared light also details dense regions of gas and dust. The red region toward the top, which forms a delicate V shape, is where the dust is both diffuse and cooler. And although it may seem like the scene clears toward the bottom left of this view, the darkest gray areas are where densest and coolest regions of dust lie. Notice that there are many fewer stars and no background galaxies popping into view.Webb’s mid-infrared data will help researchers determine exactly how much dust is in this region – and what it’s made of. These details will make models of the Pillars of Creation far more precise. Over time, we will begin to more clearly understand how stars form and burst out of these dusty clouds over millions of years. || STScI-01GFRYYRTCTMX197BY86MBFCR9-pillars.png (1987x1817) [4.1 MB] || STScI-01GFRYYRTCTMX197BY86MBFCR9-pillars-hwres_print.jpg (1024x576) [125.2 KB] || STScI-01GFRYYRTCTMX197BY86MBFCR9-pillars-hwres.png (3840x2160) [4.3 MB] || STScI-01GFRYYRTCTMX197BY86MBFCR9-pillars-hwres_searchweb.png (320x180) [65.3 KB] || STScI-01GFRYYRTCTMX197BY86MBFCR9-pillars-hwres_thm.png (80x40) [7.3 KB] || webb-space-telescope-studies-the-pillars-of-creation.hwshow [368 bytes] || ", "hits": 340 }, { "id": 5259, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5259/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2024-04-19T10:00:00-04:00", "title": "PACE - First Look at OCI, HARP2, and SPEXone data", "description": "This visualization begins with a view of the PACE spacecraft orbiting Earth.

Each day, FWI values are calculated from global weather data, including satellite rainfall data from the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission.The FWI System is the most widely used fire danger rating system in the world, and has been adopted for different boreal, temperate and tropical fire environments. GFWED provides a globally consistent fire weather dataset for fire researchers and managers to apply locally. The Fire Weather Index component is suitable as a general index of fire danger. Globally, shifts in continental-scale fire activity follow seasonal changes in the FWI. Over South America and Africa, regions of high FWI and active agricultural burning shift with the tropical rain belts, seen in the GPM precipitation overlay.

As the backbone of the global observing system, JPSS polar satellites circle the Earth from pole-to-pole and cross the equator about 14 times daily in the afternoon orbit—providing full global coverage twice a day. Satellites in the JPSS constellation gather global measurements of atmospheric, terrestrial and oceanic conditions, including sea and land surface temperatures, vegetation, clouds, rainfall, snow and ice cover, fire locations and smoke plumes, atmospheric temperature, water vapor and ozone. JPSS delivers key observations for the Nation's essential products and services, including forecasting severe weather like hurricanes, tornadoes and blizzards days in advance, and assessing environmental hazards such as droughts, forest fires, poor air quality and harmful coastal waters.

The CATS mission extends the data record of space-based aerosol and cloud measurements to ensure the continuity of lidar climate observation.Data from CATS will help scientists model the structure of dust plumes and other atmospheric features, which can travel far distances and impact air quality.

In late April 2015, the Calbuco Volcano in Chile erupted multiple times; sending plumes of sulfur dioxide and ash into the upper troposphere. Volcanic plumes pose a substantial risk to aviation safety, leading to prolonged flight cancellations that cause ripple effects in the airline industry’s economy and on personal travel.

It includes a quick start guide for educators and first-hand stories (blogs) for learners of all ages by NASA visualizers, scientists and educators. We hope that your understanding and use of NASA's visualizations will only increase as your appreciation grows for the beauty of the science they portray, and the communicative power they hold. Read all the blogs and find educational resources for all ages at: The Earth Science Week 2015 page.I've always been fascinated by our atmosphere. Think about it: even though we don't see it, above us is a great aerial ocean! Over time my fascination has grown from weather maps and pondering the origins of storms, to learning all about the physics that surround our everyday lives. From as early as grade school I was also very interested in computers: diagnosing errors, developing programming skills and learning all about hardware and operating systems. So you might say my interests naturally led me to a career as a NASA scientist, where I create visualizations to study the underlying factors that drive weather patterns. Visualizations help us to see the world differently and actively.Many of you have no doubt seen your homes from space using a program called Google Earth™. But did you know you could do a lot more with the right data? In fact I often use it to map atmospheric data in three-dimensions (3-D) around the globe. But one of the challenges I often face is that data comes from many different sources, such as NASA and NOAA satellites or ground-observation stations. This means the data is stored on computer disks all over the country and are named and organized according to different standards, requiring us to customize techniques for producing accurate visualizations in one, 3-D display of the Earth. We do this in order to analyze atmospheric relationships more easily because many weather phenomena arise from physical interactions, both horizontally and vertically, in the global circulation.A big part of atmospheric research relies on using computer models to simulate what our atmosphere will do under different conditions. A great example of this is the data used to prepare the daily weather forecast. This data originates from weather forecasting models that calculate atmospheric motions using the world’s fastest supercomputers. But how do we know these forecasts are accurate? Researchers can verify a model's performance by visualizing one of the variables such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, or air pressure and then using color shading, contour curves, and wind \"barbs\" to graph that data. Then they overlay the observations from NASA satellites such as cloud-top imagery, cloud-top temperature, and vertical distributions of clouds and aerosols, with the graph (it can be challenging to synchronize the data display as these times usually don't match). After this process, the display confirms the model's accuracy. This method is used to study many atmospheric events, such as timing of a storm system, precipitation, or the direction of dust or smoke transport. || ", "hits": 121 }, { "id": 30627, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/30627/", "result_type": "Hyperwall Visual", "release_date": "2015-09-18T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "Fires at Night in the U.S. Northwest", "description": "Fires at Night in the U.S. Northwest || nw_fires_at_night_preview.jpg (1024x575) [5.5 MB] || nw_fires_at_night_preview_thm.png (80x40) [24.2 KB] || nw_fires_at_night_preview_searchweb.png (180x320) [136.1 KB] || nw_fires_at_night_ae_1080p.mp4 (1920x1080) [7.4 MB] || nw_fires_at_night_ae_720p.mp4 (1280x720) [3.8 MB] || nw_fires_at_night_ae_720p.webm (1280x720) [4.7 MB] || nw_fires_at_night_2304p.mp4 (4096x2304) [22.8 MB] || nw_fires_at_night_ae_360p.mp4 (640x360) [1.2 MB] || 4104x2304_16x9_30p (4104x2304) [64.0 KB] || nw_fires_at_night_30627.pptx [30.2 MB] || nw_fires_at_night_30627.key [32.0 MB] || ", "hits": 33 }, { "id": 40247, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/gallery/goes/", "result_type": "Gallery", "release_date": "2015-09-14T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "GOES", "description": "GOES (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites) is a joint mission between NOAA and NASA.

This allows them to maintain their positions over specific geographic regions so they can provide continuous coverage of that area over time.\n\nThe GOES-R series of satellites, designated with a letter during development and renamed with a number after reaching geostationary orbit, have transformed NOAA’s geostationary weather monitoring capabilities. \n\nGOES-R (now GOES-16) launched in 2016 and operates as NOAA’s GOES East satellite. GOES-S (now GOES-17), launched in 2018 and serves as an on-orbit backup. GOES-T (now GOES-18) launched in 2022 and is NOAA’s operational GOES West satellite. The final satellite in the series, GOES-U (GOES-19), was launched on June 25, 2024, and is slated to replace GOES-16 in the GOES East position by spring 2025.\n\nTogether, GOES East and GOES West watch over more than half the globe — from the west coast of Africa to New Zealand and from near the Arctic Circle to the Antarctic Circle. \n\nThe GOES-R Program is a collaborative effort between NOAA and NASA.

Using satellites scientists can tell whether a given plume of aerosols came from a natural source or were produced by human activities. Two important clues about aerosols' sources are particle size and location of the plume. Natural aerosols (such as dust and sea salts) tend to be larger than man-made aerosols (such as smoke and industrial pollution). These maps show monthly aerosol particle radius from January 2005 to the present, derived using data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensor onboard NASA’s Terra satellite. Red areas show aerosol plumes made up of smaller particles. These red-colored plumes are over regions where we know humans produce pollution. Green areas show aerosol plumes made up of larger particles. These green-colored plumes are over regions where we know aerosols occur naturally. Yellow areas show plumes in which large and small aerosol particles are intermingling. Black shows where the satellite could not measure aerosols. Maps such as these allow scientists to estimate the location and size of aerosol particles present in the atmosphere. || ", "hits": 43 }, { "id": 30395, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/30395/", "result_type": "Hyperwall Visual", "release_date": "2013-10-24T12:00:00-04:00", "title": "Monthly Aerosol Particle Radius (Aqua/MODIS)", "description": "Tiny solid and liquid particles suspended in the atmosphere are called aerosols.
