Dynamic NASA-Built Weather Sensors Enlisted to Track Tropical Cyclones
Known as COWVR and TEMPEST, the duo is demonstrating that smaller, less expensive science instruments can play an important role in weather forecasting.Tony Greicius (NASA)

They found that the chance that air pollution would exceed national standards increased from about 5% to 22% when there was snow on the ground.
#NASAEarth
Snow cover increases the chance of temperature inversions – when warm air acts like a lid, trapping pollutants near the surface, new research finds. https://go.nasa.gov/3xqvkOA

Snow and Haze in Utah
Snowy surfaces increase the chance of temperature inversions, which contribute to air quality problems in the Salt Lake City area.go.nasa.gov
At the time, @EPA data showed the air quality was above 100 on the air quality index, making it unhealthy for sensitive groups.

Why Methane Surged in 2020
Warm, wet weather in the Northern Hemisphere combined with COVID-19 lockdowns pushed the potent greenhouse gas to record levels.go.nasa.gov
NOx serves as an atmospheric “detergent” by reacting with methane and removing it from the atmosphere.

But was it enough to reverse a decades-long decline in groundwater? It’s unlikely, according to @nasagoddard research.

Reservoirs Rise, but Groundwater Woes Remain
The water delivered by winter storms in 2022-2023 is likely insufficient to reverse the longer-term depletion of California’s groundwater.go.nasa.gov
The other lines show why this is happening – groundwater (light blue) is sharply decreasing. Data are from @nasa’s GRACE and GRACE-FO satellites.
