greenhouse-gases-device-photo-by-woodleywonderworks.jpg Greenhouse gases have proven quite problematic in recent decades and are believed by many to be a key component of global warming.

But have you heard about the device that is able to track greenhouse gases?

NASA is using something called the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS).

Cloud cover and temperature are measured globally twice every day with AIRS.

Along with that data, scientists are also finding records of carbon dioxide, methane, and ozone.

Finding out the levels of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere can help us learn more about how these agents may be affecting our climate and weather, and we may be able to use this data in predicting long-term trends, too.

LynnetteAs a homeowner, I primarily write about weather safety tips that everyone should know in order to protect their home and family during major weather events. I especially like to share seasonal "outside the box" ideas that most wouldn't think of in the Spring, Summer, Winter, and Fall. The weather events I've personally experienced include: Hurricanes (while living in Florida), Tornadoes (while living in Indiana, Texas, and Tennessee), Earthquakes (while visiting California), Blizzards (while living in New York and Indiana), and Flooding (while living in Tennessee).
