MAPS Overview The MAPS experiment measures the global distribution of carbon monoxide (CO) mixing ratios in the free troposphere. Because of MAPS' previous flights on board the Space Shuttle, Earth system scientists now know that carbon monoxide concentrations in the troposphere are highly variable around the planet, and that widespread burning in the South American Amazon Basin and southern cerra

NASA Earthdata CMR1961 · collection

This collection contains thousands images of impact craters from all continents except Antarctica. The collection shows that fewer craters have been discovered in South America, Asia, Africa and Australia, perhaps because these continents have been less explored in geological terms. Craters in Europe are excluded because they are difficult to see (due to intense glacial erosion in the recent past

NASA Earthdata CMR1961 · collection

This collection contains several astronaut images taken from space of glaciers from all continents. The collection contains examples from higher latitudes (major glacier tongues, especially in the southern Andes collection), and lower subtropical and tropical latitudes (mountain-top glacier—even on the equator).

NASA Earthdata CMR1961 · collection

In Crew Earth Observations (CEO), crew members on the International Space Station (ISS) photograph the Earth from their unique point of view in low Earth orbit. Photographs record how the planet is changing over time, from human-caused changes like urban growth and reservoir construction, to natural dynamic events such as hurricanes, floods and volcanic eruptions. A major emphasis of CEO is to mon

NASA Earthdata CMR1961 · collection

Explore the capital cities around the world and the U.S. capital city collection, as captured from the International Space Station. This collection contains thousands of images of capital cities worldwide, with a separate option of viewing United States state capitals. Extreme variation in the sizes of capital cities has resulted in different lenses being needed to capture cities and some of the s

NASA Earthdata CMR1961 · collection

This collection contains many thousands images of volcanoes from all continents except Antarctica. This collection includes examples of volcanoes taken from different viewing angles, both vertical, where volcanoes look almost circular, to oblique, where the typical cone-like form of volcanoes shows up better. Because volcanoes are also mountains (chains of volcanoes make entire mountain ranges), c

NASA Earthdata CMRcollection

This data set contains earth images acquired by the imaging radar, SIR-B, on board the space shuttle Challenger in October 1985. This imagery includes several independent data takes which provide imagery over areas of Australia, Europe, western South America, North America, and north eastern Africa as well as limited areas of the middle east, Asia, and off the southern coast of Africa. This imager
