Air quality is a significant environmental concern around the world. Scientists are developing new ways to untangle the different factors that contribute to poor air quality. Korea U.S.-Air Quality (KORUS-AQ) is a joint field study between NASA and the Republic of Korea to advance the ability to monitor air pollution from space.
NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center provided aircraft support, operations, and management of the DC-8 flying laboratory that was used for these missions.
This 5-minute, 47-second video is part four in a series that shows how the findings from this mission will help develop observing systems using models and data to improve air quality assessments for decision makers.
