NASA employees are preparing plans to terminate two critical satellite missions monitoring greenhouse gases, which provide valuable data to various sectors, including agriculture and science.

Using simulations of historical climate change from nine state-of-the-art computer models, scientists investigated when evidence of human-caused climate change became clear. They found that the critical understanding of atmospheric CO2 levels affecting climate could have emerged much earlier than commonly acknowledged, emphasizing the importance of sustained climate monitoring.

The termination of the SSMIS service, a vital tool for hurricane monitoring, could disrupt accurate forecasts due to the lack of comprehensive data it provides.
