One of the biggest challenges for policymakers in holding #methane emitters accountable is the lack of reliable, actionable data on the sources and scale of emissions. This is about to change, as two new methane-detecting satellites come into service 🚀 🛰 MethaneSAT, developed by Environmental Defense Fund, and the Carbon Mapper Coalition’s first Tanager satellite – developed by Planet with NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory technology – are the first non-profit satellite programmes designed to detect and quantify methane emissions globally. 🔍 Their unique and complementary capabilities will provide comprehensive tracking of methane emissions. By making the invisible visible through publicly accessible data, they will empower policymakers to hold the industry accountable. And with methane responsible for approximately 30% of current warming, this is critical to changing the trajectory of #GlobalWarming. 🔗 Read more from Riley Duren and Steven Hamburg: https://lnkd.in/drcqzURM

👋🏼 from COP28. NASA just released the U.S. Greenhouse Gas Center with our partners EPA, NOAA and NIST. This is an example of open sharing of scientific data to improve life on 🌍. Proud to see this idea 💡 come to life! The first three areas of focus are: *Estimates of greenhouse gas emissions from human activities *Naturally occurring greenhouse gas sources and sinks on land and in the ocean. *Large methane emission event identification and quantification, leveraging aircraft and space-based data.

science and climate are too political for entertaining an internationally agreed upon solution using Scientific International Units and the World Wide Power Grid Clean Air Antenna Array Just like the radio in your cell phone and Spacecraft. wtfu Tesla*length of wire*velocity= Volt Volt*Siemens= Amp Volt*Amp= Watt= Joule /second TlvVS= Watt; Joule Equals Watt second Acronym that for Einstein’s people & NIST https://lnkd.in/ghi2iN8f

Astronaut Captures Image Of Mysterious "Red Sprite" High Above The Earth A red sprite represents an extraordinary meteorological phenomenon categorized as a Transient Luminous Event (TLE). A European Space Agency (ESA)astronaut recently photographed an uncommon occurrence termed a red sprite. Astronaut Andreas Mogensen captured these images using a high-resolution camera for the Thor-Davis experiment at Danish Technical University. The experiment aims to investigate upper atmospheric lightning and its implications on greenhouse gas levels, thereby influencing global warming. Scientists approximated the dimensions of the red sprite in the astronaut's image to be around 14 by 26 kilometres (8.7 by 16.2 miles). "These images taken by Andreas are fantastic," Olivier Chanrion, lead scientist for this experiment and DTU Space senior researcher told BBC. "The Davis camera works well and gives us the high temporal resolution necessary to capture the quick processes in the lightning." What is a red sprite? A red sprite represents an extraordinary meteorological phenomenon categorized as a Transient Luminous Event (TLE). Occasionally dubbed red lightning, it occurs above thunderclouds at altitudes between 40 and 80 kilometres (25 - 50 miles) above the Earth's surface. Unlike typical lightning bolts that descend from the clouds to the ground, a sprite behaves inversely, ascending into the atmosphere, resembling a form of reverse lightning. The rapid occurrence of a red sprite, lasting merely a millisecond, presents a challenge for scientists aiming to capture and study them comprehensively. Because these phenomena materialize above thunderclouds, they pose difficulties for observation from Earth and are predominantly visible from space. Nonetheless, delving deeper into their characteristics can furnish significant insights into upper-atmospheric activities, offering valuable information for scientific understanding.

Summary – NASA has launched a new satellite, dubbed PACE, under its earth sciences program. Its name is an acronym for Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, and ocean Ecosystem satellite mission. It was sent into space from Cape Canaveral by a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. NASA’s goal is to observe phytoplankton in the oceans, which are important to Earth’s carbon cycle. These phytoplankton are critical to Earth’s food chain. Currently, global warming is having adverse impacts on them, and NASA is using this new satellite so that further research might be conducted on how to prevent harm and provide aid to the carbon system in the future most effectively. It utilizes hyperspectral technology, which monitors ocean color to determine the amounts of phytoplankton in certain areas. Takeaways – The carbon cycle provides crucial stability to the atmosphere and to the air we breathe. Being able to monitor the phytoplankton which contribute heavily to the wellbeing of the atmosphere and the health of the environment. This technology will allow for this monitoring to increase on a large scale. Implication—The ability to monitor phytoplankton allows for greater amounts of preventative measures to be taken towards global warming in the future. If NASA is able to effectively identify which parts of the ocean require the greatest focus in restoring phytoplankton to aid the environment, businesses can capitalize off of this information by taking their own action and marketing this aid to the public. Larger space firms such as Blue Origin or SpaceX might also be able to replicate NASA’s technologies and profit off of them. https://lnkd.in/gAY4PF6N
