Play video MIT Lincoln Laboratory has transformed weather intelligence by miniaturizing microwave sounders, instruments that measure Earth’s atmospheric temperature, moisture, and water vapor. These instruments are 1/100th the size of traditional sounders aboard multibillion-dollar satellites, enabling them to fit on shoebox-sized CubeSats. When deployed in a constellation, the CubeSats can observe rapidly intensifying storms near-hourly […]

Read MoreAviation’s climate impact is partly due to contrails — condensation that a plane streaks across the sky when it flies through icy and humid layers of the atmosphere. Contrails trap heat that radiates from the planet’s surface, and while the magnitude of this impact is uncertain, several studies suggest contrails may be responsible for about […]
