NASA launched a climate change research project

Panama's 'La Prensa' online newspaper said that on July 18, the US Space Agency (NASA) launched simultaneously in Panama and Costa Rica a study of the troposphere apex to find out. climate change process and ozone depletion status.

The study lasted for a month with the participation of 400 researchers from eight NASA centers, 14 universities and more than 20 US and international scientific agencies. This study aims to identify the chemical composition, dynamics and physical processes that occur in the high atmosphere of the earth, directly related to the process of climate change.

In Panama, NASA experts have installed an atmospheric research station in Central Los Santos province, 300 kilometers west of Panama. Every day, three DC-8, WB-57 and ER-2 aircraft are fully equipped with equipment to take off at Costa Santamaria International Airport) of Costa Rica to gather weather information.

In addition, two large-band C and S radars, besides the probes released in the two regions, will also provide effective weather and weather information.
