Atlantic Cloud
ABSTRACT
Aura, NASA’s newest Earth Observing Satellite, has turned up its first mystery: What happened to the carbon monoxide?
Scientists have long recognized that a sizeable ozone cloud might exist in the tropics over the Atlantic Ocean. Until Aura was
launched they had to depend on aircraft readings to detect it, but aircraft can t provide the continuous monitoring needed to
develop year-round models.
