Pollution




SVS >> Pollution

Movie ID Title
This movie shows a three day moving average of anthropogenic aerosols over the Atlantic in 2003. Human population is shown in blue/purple.On July 6, 2003 a heavy pollution plume is being transported over the Atlantic to Europe. 3492 Atlantic Transport of Anthropogenic Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) in 2003
This movie shows a three day moving average of anthropogenic aerosols over the Pacific in 2003.  Human population is shown in blue/purple.  On May 9, 2003 a heavy pollution plume is being transported over the Pacific from Asia to North America. 3491 Pacific Anthropogenic Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) in 2003
This image is of Nitrogen Dioxide, NO2, on October 16, 2004. 3074 Nitrogen Dioxide concentration over China from September 24, 2004, to November 7, 2004
This image shows Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) from October 8, 2004 on top of the Earth at Night image.  Nitrogen Dioxide concentration is clearly evident over the San Diego, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Denver, Houston, Dallas, Chicago, Detroit,  Cleveland, Toronto, Birmingham, Washington DC, Philadelphia, and New York.  Clouds that obscure the satellite's ability to measure NO2, cover several other urban areas like Kansas City, St. Louis, and Atlanta. 3073 NO2 concentration over the United States from September 24, 2004, through November 7, 2004
April 6, 2001 Normal Aerosol Levels are apparent on the first day of the dust storm 2957 China Dust Storm Pollutes Air in the Eastern United States in April 2001 (Flatmap)
This animation shows the concentration of dust in the atmosphere during April 2001 when a massive dust storm crossed the Pacific from China and Mongolia to the United States. 2956 China Dust Storm during April 2001 (WMS)
This animation starts with the Terra-MODIS image of April 7, 2001, and then zooms out to a regional view of China.  This second view shows the widespread aerosol pollution that starts in China and spreads across the Pacific Ocean and into the United States. 2860 China Dust Storm seen by Terra/MODIS and Earth Probe/TOMS in April of 2001
April 7, 2001 2859 China Dust Storm seen by Earth Probe/TOMS in April of 2001
Tropospheric Ozone over Southern Africa on 9-25-2000 as measured by Earth Probe TOMS 2018 Safari 2000 Tropospheric Ozone
Global aerosol concentrations from May 1997 through May 1998 from Earth Probe TOMS 378 Tropospheric Ozone from Earth Probe TOMS: Global - 9 Day Averages (May 1997 - May 1998)
Street traffic timelapse. 10397 City and Traffic Timelapses
Microscope video of tractor soot. Video courtesy of Chere Petty, University of Maryland, Baltimore County; NSF grant DBI-0722569. 10393 Soot and Sulfate Still Images and Video of Tractor Soot Particle
Forest fires (biomass burning) emit black soot carbon aerosol clouds. Sun rays are absorbed by these dark clouds. Some sun rays are reflected and some still travel through the cloud to the ground. 10389 Aerosols Absorb; Aerosols Reflect
This animation juxtaposes ocean clouds and city clouds. Both zoom to the particle-detail level to show the difference in aerosol particle number and back out to show that clouds over oceans are taller and darker than those over cities. 10388 Human Induced versus Naturally Occurring Aerosols
This animation shows the different sources of aerosols, how they mix in the Earth's atmosphere, and finally disappear by creating sediment or raining out. 10386 Sources of Aerosols
This video shows how we may be having a greater impact on the weather than we ever knew. 10289 Rain Rain Go Away Come Again on a Work Day?
This is the standard definition version of the Dust, Soot, Fire Inhibits Rainfall Animaiton. 10027 Dust, Fire, Soot Inhibits Rainfall
This is the standard definition version MPEG of the Ice Albedo (soot case) Animation. 10023 Ice Albedo: Black Soot and Snow
This is the standard definition version MPEG of the Ice Albedo(clean ice case) Animation. 10022 Ice Albedo: Bright White Reflects Light
This animation shows summer precipitation without the effects of pollution. 10012 Pollution Increases Summer Precipitation
This animation shows what winter precipitation is like when pollution is not involved. 10011 Pollution Reduces Winter Precipitation
This is the standard definition version of the Particulates Effect on Rainfall animation MPEG. 10010 Particulates Effect on Rainfall
This is the standard definition version of the Soot Effects Rainfall animation MPEG. 10003 Soot Effects Rainfall
