TRACER-AQ

In September 2021, NASA will deploy assets to the Houston, Texas region to measure air quality relevant constituents at high spatial and temporal resolutions. This effort will be conducted in partnership with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, the Department of Energy (DOE)-led Tracking Aerosol Convection interactions ExpeRiment (TRACER) campaign, and a number of academic collaborators. This synergistic deployment approach aims to address research questions under the umbrella of three focus areas: 

1. Ozone Photochemistry and Meteorology
2. Modeling and Satellite Evaluation
3. Intersection of Air Quality and Socioeconomics Factors
