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....
TES feature
The Global Carbon Cycle
04.2011 - TES measurements provide constraints on carbon dioxide (CO2) emission and uptake and methane (CH4) emissions.
TES feature
TES Water Vapor Isotopes
04.2011 - Stable isotopes from TES is used to constrain convective parameterization in a climate model.
TES feature
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.
TES feature
Ammonia from TES
04.2011 - TES captures the variability of ammonia over the Earth's surface.

TES Sensitivity
TES CO2 data are being used to estimate CO2 surface fluxes
Atmospheric moisture recycling
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
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.
TES Tropospheric maps
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.
