Atmospheric Temperature Data Access and Tools

NASA has atmospheric temperature datasets that help researchers measure the degree of warmth in various levels of the atmosphere. Access a range of data and data tools such as AppEEARS, Worldview, and Giovanni to make the most of atmospheric temperature data.

Featured Atmospheric Temperature Observation Method: MLS
The Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) is radiometer and spectrometer that measures microwave thermal emission from the edge, or "limb," of Earth’s atmosphere. The MLS can measure vertical profiles of the atmosphere including temperature. The instrument acquires data globally day and night and can do so in the presence ice clouds and aerosols that would interfere with measurements from other devices.

MLS Products Available in GIBS

In coordination with the Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) team, we now have several MLS products available through the GIBS image access APIs.
