"NASA's Satellite Captures Groundbreaking Images of Air Pollution in Pennsylvania"
NASA has released the first image captured by the Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution satellite (TEMPO), which is designed to monitor emissions pollution levels. The image shows nitrogen dioxide density, with higher levels observed in cities like Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. TEMPO measures sunlight reflected and scattered off Earth's surface, clouds, and atmosphere to determine the concentrations of various gases, including nitrogen dioxide. It is expected to provide valuable data for studying air pollution and its impact on communities across North America.
