NASA | The Smog Bloggers

The video discusses the Smog Blog, a NASA-funded project that tracks air pollution in the U.S. using data from ground instruments and satellites. It highlights the blog's role in providing accessible air quality information to the public and its educational value for students. The blog uses tools like the Sun photometer and Lidar to measure pollution and relies on satellite imagery for forecasting. The project has gained significant public attention and offers students practical experience in applying scientific research to real-world problems.
