NSF NCAR Scientists Participate in Mission to Measure Air Quality Over Asia
NASA-led ASIA-AQ campaign will help verify and interpret new satellite observations
Scientists from the U.S. National Science Foundation National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF NCAR) have begun a four-country deployment focused on obtaining airborne observations of air quality over some of Asia’s largest cities.
The observations, part of the NASA-led Airborne and Satellite Investigation of Asian Air Quality (ASIA-AQ) mission, will be used to help verify and interpret new satellite observations. Ultimately, the data collected will lead to a better understanding of factors that influence air quality over some of the world’s largest megacities and help improve complex air quality models.
