NASA's GEOS Model Highlights Aerosol Impact on Air Quality
US · Published Apr 23, 2026
NASA's GEOS model visualizes aerosols from August 1 to September 14, 2024, showing their impact on air quality.
Aerosols, tiny particles in the air, travel far and affect visibility and weather patterns.
The GEOS model integrates Earth system processes to improve weather forecasts and climate models.
NASA tracks aerosols to improve predictions
NASA's Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS) has released a detailed visualization of aerosols in the atmosphere, covering the period from August 1 to September 14, 2024. Aerosols, which are tiny solid or liquid particles, have a significant impact on air quality and visibility as they travel long distances. This visualization is part of NASA's broader effort to use high-resolution weather and aerosol data to improve environmental predictions and support AI research.
