AQUA Satellite -- AIRS -- Atmospheric Infrared Sounder -- Ozone footprint

Thanks to AIRS on board the Aqua satellite and the team of scientists and engineers, this video shows the ozone levels in earths atmosphere from September 2002 until June 2008. (A time-line of the ozone footprint covering almost 6 complete years.)

Aqua Satellite was launched in May 2002. Onboard it carries the AIRS instrument which monitors earths air temperatures, greenhouse gas emission, methane, carbon monoxide, water vapor, clouds, ozone, ozone polar view, out-going longwave earth radiation Clouds in earths atmosphere promote low levels of outgoing longwave radiation. Greenhouse gases absorb certain wavelengths of OLR adding heat to the atmosphere, which in turn causes the atmosphere to emit more radiation. credits to Nasa @ http://airs.jpl.nasa.gov/maps/maps_in_motion
