Those planes flying really low all weekend? That’s just NASA collecting pollution data
Residents in L.A., the Imperial Valley, and the Tulare Basin can expect to hear low-flying planes starting today until Tuesday, July 2, as NASA collects data on air pollutants and greenhouse gasses over landfills, power plants and urban areas at altitudes between 1,000 and 10,000 feet. These flights will double check on the measurements captured by NASA’s TEMPO (Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution) mission — which launched a commercial satellite last year to monitor daytime pollutants across the United States, northern Mexico and Canada. Several of the pollutants NASA is monitoring and collecting samples on include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen dioxide, formaldehyde, and ozone. It is part of a campaign to support the NASA Student Airborne Research Program, where participants research atmospheric chemistry, air quality, forest ecology, and ocean biology through data collected from aircraft. In addition, students get to participate in field data collection.
