The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), NASA and NOAA have announced a joint program to investigate the consequences of artificial cloud formation through modern air traffic. Internationally, the problem has been known for a long time: the extreme increase in air traffic, the nozzles and fuels used and the altitude of the flight lead to an artificial cloud formation that influences the climate. It is assumed that global warming is taking plac…

Students join NASA mission, design a high-altitude probe to study air quality

The data these students collect could help scientists understand how pollutants, like volatile organic compounds, travel through the atmosphere.

Predictive modeling of air quality in the Tehran megacity via deep learning techniques

Air pollution is a significant challenge in metropolitan areas, where increasing amounts of air pollutants threaten public health and environmental safety. The present study aims to forecast the concentrations of various air pollutants, including CO, O3, NO2, SO2, PM10, and PM2.5, from 2013 to 2023 in the Tehran megacity, Iran, via deep learning (DL) models and evaluate their effectiveness over conventional machine learning (ML) methods. Key dri…
