TES Water Vapor Isotope Data used to Evaluate Moisture Processes in Climate Models Differences between TES data and climate models are due to rainfall, evaporation and mixing processes.... |
![]() | The Global Carbon Cycle 04.2011 - TES measurements provide constraints on carbon dioxide (CO2) emission and uptake and methane (CH4) emissions. |
![]() | TES Water Vapor Isotopes 04.2011 - Stable isotopes from TES is used to constrain convective parameterization in a climate model. |
![]() | The greenhouse effect of tropospheric ozone 04.2011 - This map shows the longwave radiative effect of infrared radiation absorbed by tropospheric ozone as estimated from TES top-of- atmosphere observations. |
![]() | Ammonia from TES
04.2011 - TES captures the variability of ammonia over the Earth's surface. |
![]() | TES ammonia over farming regions TES retrievals show consistent dependence on concentration of livestock facilities |
![]() | TES Sensitivity
TES CO2 data are being used to estimate CO2 surface fluxes |
![]() | How does atmospheric moisture recycling contribute to tropical humidity? TES vapor isotope measurements provide details about moist processes in the atmosphere and how they should be represented in climate models. |
![]() | CO-Ozone constraints on chemistry-climate models Global correlation patterns of ozone and CO derived from TES observations and model simulations |
![]() | TES Hunts the Trail of Earth's Water For the first time, NASA scientists have used a shrewd spaceborne detective to track the origin and movement of water vapor throughout Earth's atmosphere. |
![]() | First Maps of Tropospheric Ozone & Carbon Monoxide Coincident measurements of tropospheric ozone and carbon monoxide are critical for understanding chemical and dynamical processes, which can be very complex in the troposphere. |
![]() | First Global Observations of HDO/H2O ratio - A Tracer of Global Hydrological Processes The hydrological cycle acts differently in different location. The TES measurements show that in the tropics, re-evaporation of precipitation is an important process controlling cloud formation. |
![]() | TES HDO / H20 (Surface- 550 hPa) HDO measurements tell us about ice cloud formation and evaporation. This is the first map of HDO ever made. |
![]() | TES Carbon Monoxide High values of CO near biomass burning regions and NH cities. CO in the upper trop is lofted by convection and fires. |
![]() | TES Special Observation: Nadir Step & Stare The AIRS-visible images (left) show the TES footprint locations (blue) over a variety of cloud and surface conditions. |
