Clouds are not untouched by the effects of climate change, NASA is preparing for the next mission launch
Clouds have also not remained untouched by the effects of climate change. Its effect has also been observed in ice-forming clouds. To see whose concrete effect, NASA has started preparing to launch a special mission. from this mission
It would be interesting to know the exact forecast of worsening icy weather. This mission will forecast icy weather by monitoring clouds in the high region of the Earth’s atmosphere.
The name of this mission of NASA is Polarized Submillimeter Ice-Cloud Radiometer (PolSIR). POLSIR is a state-of-the-art instrument designed to study ice clouds. Will take stock of the reaction of clouds formed over tropical and sub-tropical regions. The instrument will be mounted on two small satellites and launched into low Earth orbit. Through which data of clouds that make ice can be collected. The special thing is that in this mission it will be easy to detect the changing clouds of ice during a day. At the same time, it will also be easier to find out how ice clouds react to climate change and how they may affect our climate in the future. Regarding this mission, Nicola Fox, associate administrator of the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington, said in a statement that the study of ice clouds is important for improving climate forecasts. Which NASA is going to do for the first time. In fact, there is no in-depth information about the clouds that make snow. This mission will greatly improve our understanding. It is going to take a long time to bring this plan to the ground. As per the plan, PolSIR will be launched in 2027.
According to Dr. Narendra Singh, environmental scientist of Aryabhatta Observational Science Research Institute, ARIES, inventing state-of-the-art tools to understand climate change has become the biggest need of the hour. Through which you will be able to understand the future weather in time. Presently no country in the world is untouched by this climate change. We have to make a lot of preparations in time.
