Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment (SAGE)

The Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment (SAGE) III on the International Space Station (ISS) ninth annual science team meeting was held August 19–20, 2026 at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia. Approximately 60 scientists and engineers participated in the hybrid meeting, discussing the status of the mission, instrument operations, data processing, as well as […]

Summertime in the northern mid-latitudes all too often means large scale wildfires, and 2026 is no exception to that cycle with huge fires burning in Canada and the western US since early-July and recently in western Europe. Smoke from the wildfires in Canada was transported 1000s of miles exclusively in the troposphere to the US […]

The SAGE community is pleased to announce that a special collection is now open in the following AGU journals: Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Earth and Space Science, and Geophysical Research Letters. The call for papers is available at this link, where you may also submit your manuscripts to the special collection. In addition, if […]

The Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment (SAGE) III instrument was launched in February 2017 to the International Space Station (ISS) and continues to provide the public and science community with world-class ozone, aerosol, and water vapor data products. The annual SAGE III/ISS Science Team meeting was held as a hybrid event hosted at NASA Langley […]

The 2025 wildfire season in Canada has been long and widespread with over 6.8 million hectares burned as of August 6, 2025, placing this year in the top 5 seasons, but less than half the size of the devastating 2023 season, according to the Canadian Wildfire Information System. Smoke from the fires traveled to the […]
