Take Flight: Making the Most of NASA’s Airborne Data

• ABoVE: The Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE) was a NASA Terrestrial Ecology Program campaign conducted in Alaska and western Canada to help us understand how climate change is affecting Earth’s Arctic and Boreal regions (i.e., changes in Arctic sea ice; thawing of permafrost soils; decomposition of long-frozen organic matter; widespread changes to lakes, rivers, and coastlines; and changes to ecosystems). ABoVE collected airborne and field data focusing on the atmosphere, carbon dynamics, fire disturbance, hydrology and permafrost, vegetation, and wildlife.

• Delta-X: The Delta-X mission is a 5-year NASA mission to study the Mississippi River Delta in the United States, which is growing and sinking in different areas. River deltas and their wetlands are drowning as a result of sea level rise and reduced sediment inputs. The Delta-X mission will assess which parts will survive and continue to grow, and which parts will be lost. Delta-X collects airborne and in situ data to predict the extent and spatial patterns of future deltaic land loss or gain.

• NAAMES: The North Atlantic Aerosols and Marine Ecosystems Study (NAAMES) is a five year investigation (2015-2019) that studied the world's largest plankton bloom and how it gives rise to small organic particles that leave the ocean and end up in the atmosphere, ultimately influencing clouds and climate. NAAMES combines ship, aircraft, satellite, autonomous sensor, and modeling data to address knowledge gaps on ocean plankton and their biogenic aerosol emissions.

• OLYMPEX: The Olympic Mountains Experiment (OLYMPEX) was held in the Pacific Northwest during the winter of 2015-2016 with the goal of validating rain and snow measurements in mid-latitude frontal systems as they moved from ocean to coast to mountains, and determining how remotely sensed satellite measurements of precipitation can be applied to a range of hydrologic, weather forecasting, and climate data. The OLYMPEX campaign consisted of a wide variety of ground instrumentation, several radars, and airborne instrumentation monitoring oceanic storm systems as they approached and traversed the Olympic Peninsula and the Olympic Mountains.

A central location for learning about NASA’s Earth observations with resources and information to help people use NASA data regardless of their experience level.

An interface for exploring NASA’s past and present airborne and field campaigns, platforms, instruments, geophysical concepts, and data products. You can use CASEI to learn more about the dataset you choose to use.

A tool that provides access to more than 400 million records of Earth observations collected by NASA. You can search for data based on topic, collection, location, or instrument.

An interactive tool for browsing and displaying over 1,000 global, full-resolution satellite imagery data sets. Many of these data sets are updated daily and are available in near real time. You can search Worldview by event, location, or date, and download satellite data to complement your airborne data.

The Earth Observing Dashboard showcases examples of global environmental changes for 7 themes: Atmosphere, Water and Ocean, Biomass, Cryosphere, Agriculture, Covid-19 and Economy. You can explore countries and regions around the world to see how the indicators in specific locations changed over time.

• FIREX-AQ: Fire Influence on Regional to Global Environments and Air Quality (FIREX-AQ) provided comprehensive observations to investigate the impact on air quality and climate from wildfires and agricultural fires across the continental United States. The objective of FIREX-AQ was to provide measurements of trace gas and aerosol emissions for wildfires and prescribed fires, relate them to fuel and fire conditions at the point of emission, characterize the conditions relating to plume rise, follow plumes downwind to understand chemical transformation and air quality impacts, and assess the efficacy of satellite detections for estimating the emissions from sampled fires.
