NASA is measuring air pollution with a laser called CATS, the Cloud Aerosol Transport System. Mounted on the International Space Station about 249 miles above Earth, CATS makes observations about the transport of aerosols by looking through vertical slices of the atmosphere. CATS data helps scientists improve climate models and monitor near-real-time events on Earth, including pollution, volcanoes, wildfires and more.
