Check out what these #NASAinterns are doing with @NASAAirborne this summer!🌞
Students have been taking air samples from home to help understand potential effects of the #COVID19 activity shutdowns. The students were selected for @NASA’s annual Student Airborne Research Program, which takes place each summer in California. go.nasa.gov/3baLZIo

On its final flight Wednesday, #IceBridge flew the Cook and Ninnis Glaciers, flying over large sastrugi, and crevasses on the upper Ninnis Glacier.

After 🔟 years of surveying Earth's polar ice, Operation #IceBridge ✈️ wrapped up its final flights this week in Antarctica! 🎉

Operation #IceBridge has been busy, flying missions over the East Antarctic ice sheet & sea ice from its base in Tasmania. Friday, the team flew over two #ICESat2 orbit paths w/ a focus on snow measurements. Here, snow❄️ blows over Cape Goodenough west of Holmes Glacier.
#EarthExpedition ACT-America targets summer greenhouse gases with flights on a C-130 and a B-200 King Air beginning this week out of Shreveport, LA. In the coming weeks, home base for the campaign will move to Lincoln, NE, then coastal Virginia. go.nasa.gov/2Rqiz0z

Operation #IceBridge started its final week of the 2019 Arctic campaign with flights over Greenland's ice sheet, including the NE Greenland Ice Stream, the Disko Island ice cap and more... From Sunday's flight, three glaciers converge in a fjord off the Sukkertoppen Ice Cap
Doppler Aerosol Wind Lidar (DAWN) is an airborne instrument that uses pulsed lasers to detect the movement of atmospheric aerosols such as dust or sea salt. In detecting those movements, it can profile wind vector — both speed and direction. nasa.gov/feature/langley/nas…
We enjoyed connecting with you and your students today while we were flying in the Arctic! @NASA_Ice #IceBridge

Over almost a decade of studying glaciers from the air 🛩 , the Operation #IceBridge Alaska team has more than doubled the number of Alaskan glaciers being measured. They’ve discovered that Alaskan glaciers 🏔 are losing 75 gigatons of ice ❄️ every year.

Doppler Aerosol Wind Lidar (DAWN) uses laser pulses to take highly accurate measurements of vector wind speed & direction. In its upcoming airborne campaign, scientists will use DAWN to validate measurements from @ESA_EO ADM-Aeolus wind speed satellite. go.nasa.gov/2udXdJ1
