DARK SECRETS: Nasa jet propulsion laboratory | Vintage Vibes

In 2000, NASA's MISR used 9 cameras aboard Terra to study clouds, winds and aerosols. 1 year later, scientists showed it could measure cloud heights to within 400 meters worldwide, opening new possibilities for meteorology

NASA’s MISR instrument is giving scientists a different way to study Earth’s atmosphere. Its nine cameras view the planet from different angles, revealing details that ordinary satellite images can miss. The unusual approach helps measure cloud heights, track winds and detect airborne particles such as pollution and dust. For researchers,…
