SAGE II on the International Space Station
2015.11.02
NASA’s Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment (SAGE) family of remote-sensing-satellite instruments has long measured ozone (O3) concentrations, stratospheric aerosols, water vapor, and other trace gases that influence Earth’s atmosphere. Launched in 2016, SAGE III on the International Space Station continues the legacy of accurate SAGE measurements. This brochure provides details about the instrument, launch and installation, ground system and data, and more!

2011 Atmospheres Instrument Systems Report
2011.03.01
Studies of the atmosphere require a comprehensive set of observations, relying on instruments flown on spacecraft, aircraft, and balloons, as well as those deployed on the surface. The Earth Sciences Division has an active program of instrument systems development that provides: 1) information leading to a basic understanding of atmospheric processes and their relationships with the Earth's climate system, 2) prototypes for future flight instruments, 3) instruments to serve as calibration references for satellite mission planning and 4) instruments for future field validation campaigns that support ongoing space missions.

2005 Laboratory for Atmospheres Instrument Systems Report
2005.07.29
Studies of the atmospheres of our solar system's planets including our own require a comprehensive set of observations, relying on instruments on spacecraft, aircraft, balloons, and on the surface. These instrument systems perform one or both of the following: 1) provide information leading to a basic understanding of the relationship between atmospheric systems and processes, and 2) serve as calibration references for satellite instrument validation. Laboratory personnel define requirements, conceive concepts, and develop instrument systems for spaceflight missions, and for balloon, aircraft, and ground-based observations. Balloon and airborne platforms facilitate regional measurements of precipitation, cloud systems, and ozone from high-altitude vantage points, but still within the atmosphere. Such platforms serve as stepping-stones in the development of space instruments. Satellites provide nearly global coverage of the Earth with spatial resolutions and repetition rates that vary from system to system. The products of atmospheric remote sensing are invaluable for research associated with water vapor, ozone, trace gases, aerosol particles, clouds, precipitation, and the radiative and dynamic processes that affect the climate of the Earth. These parameters also provide the basic information needed to develop models of global atmospheric processes and weather and climate prediction. Laboratory scientists also participate in the design of data processing algorithms, calibration techniques, and the data processing systems.

Atmospheres Brochure
2004.10.01
Inside this brochure you'll find descriptions of our work scope, our people and facilities, our place in NASA's mission, and some of our accomplishments. It is intended to provide a flavor of what the group is all about. This document is aimed at a wide spectrum of potential readers including managers and colleagues within NASA, scientists outside the agency, graduate students in the atmospheric sciences, and members of the general public. Atmospheres' mission is the advancement of knowledge and understanding of the atmospheres of the Earth and other planets. Scientists conduct basic research in atmospheric sciences from the vantage point of space observations and related computer modeling. We also play an active role in developing and calibrating new and improved instruments for spaceflight and field campaigns. We enthusiastically invite you to take a glimpse into the work done by so many dedicated individuals.

Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)
2002.03.05
The first EOS satellite, called Terra, was launched on December 18, 1999, carrying five remote sensors. The most comprehensive EOS sensor is MODIS, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer. MODIS offers a unique combination of features: it detects a wide spectral range of electromagnetic energy; it takes measurements at three spatial resolutions (levels of detail); it takes measurements all day, every day; and it has a wide field of view.
