Nadir And Limb Views. QuickTime, 457 KB) depicting the relationship between altitude and ozone roles.). Tropospheric O3 has distinct roles depending upon its altitude in the upper troposphere it is a greenhouse gas, in the middle troposphere it acts as an atmospheric cleanser, and in the boundary layer it is a major component of photochemical smog. Tropospheric O3 is produced photochemically in situ. Ozone and its precursors and sinks. Intercontinental transport of pollutants.

TES: Instrument

http://tes.jpl.nasa.gov/instrument

TES is a spectrometer that measures the infrared-light energy (radiance) emitted by Earth's surface and by gases and particles in Earth's atmosphere. Every substance warmer than absolute zero emits infrared radiation at certain signature wavelengths. Spectrometers measure this radiation as a means of identifying the substances. Outreach Manager: Scott Gluck.

TES: What is TES?

http://tesweb.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/whatistes

Nadir And Limb Views. Routine standard products from TES include vertically-resolved profiles for ozone, carbon monoxide, water vapor, deuterated water vapor and methane. TES makes use of a variety of special observations. That provide denser spatial sampling along orbits, and a continuous-coverage mode (called a transect) to detect air pollution. How Does TES Work? TES measurements are also helping to determine local atmospheric temperature and humidity profiles (see global water cycle. Local surface te...

Nadir And Limb Views. TES is one of four science instruments aboard NASA's Aura. Aura is one of a series of satellites in NASA's Earth Observing System. EOS), which supports understanding of the Earth as an integrated system by observing its land surfaces, biosphere, atmosphere and oceans. EOS, in turn, is the principal element of Earth Science Enterprise. An international effort to understand our planet's climate system. Outreach Manager: Scott Gluck.

TES: Global Water Cycle

http://tesweb.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/globalwatercycle

Nadir And Limb Views. Water is arguably our most precious resource. Tropospheric water vapor comes from a combination of evaporation over the oceans and direct transpiration (plant respiration). Energy and heat within the atmosphere is efficiently and continuously in motion through the engine of condensation within the cloud and evaporation below the cloud. What are we learning about the global water cycle from TES? Lighter isotopes preferentially evaporate. Heavier isotopes preferentially condense.
