NASA | Glory: The Particle Puzzle

This episode explores the complexity of atmospheric aerosols- how they impact climate and how researchers study them. Glory's Aerosol Polarimetry Sensor and Cloud Camera will provide an unprecedented data set for helping scientists understand aerosol particles.

lol it's from Philippines

@SABRINATAful there is no Dog

@usptact During the no fly period after 9/11 there was a statistically significant decrease in the albedo effect which resulted in increased radiation hitting the earth and heating it up due to the fact that all the contrails from planes were gone. This of course does not support the idea of "chemtrails" but just the visible clouds produced. Contrails exist, chemtrails are just a conspiracy theory.

Synthetic photosynthesis simulating plants?

LOL at a person living on an island that doesn't even have independence discussing what a Canadian should be discussing. It's called freedom of speech. Did I say NASA should involve in aerosol research, or did I merely state a fact that this research already being undertaken by NASA has much more implication on life of an average person than things like looking for extraterrestrial intelligent life? If you can't deduce that much meaning out of a sentence, just go cry

[usptact]

what about particles in a plane's chemtrack?

OK... because my initial comment had absolutely nothing to do with Star Trek.

Este episodio explora la complejidad de los aerosoles atmosféricos - cómo afectan climático y cómo los investigadores estudian. Del Gloria Sensor de polarimetría de aerosoles y cámara de nube proporcionará un conjunto de datos sin precedentes para ayudar a los científicos a entender de partículas de aerosol.

@EdouardDubois ya i was speaking my mind not careing about typing much sorry.

@skaterraiter

What is starttreck?  Did you mean Star Trek?
