Planet Earth Aerosols: Inside the Visualization | NASA Goddard
NASA uses satellites, ground measurements, and powerful computer models to track tiny particles floating in our air called aerosols. These small particles can travel thousands of miles, affecting the air we breathe and how far we can see, even far from where they originated. This visualization shows how these particles moved through Earth's atmosphere between August 1 and September 14, 2024.
Each color represents a type of aerosol: sea salt (blue), dust (pink/magenta), smoke from fires (orange/red), and sulfates from pollution and volcanoes (green). This visualization is based on NASA's Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS) model. It provides realistic, high-resolution weather and aerosol data that enables customized environmental prediction and advances in artifical intelligence (AI) research.
