Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment (SAGE)

The Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment, SAGE, is a series of instruments designed by NASA to observe stratospheric ozone, aerosols, and water vapor from space. In the mid-1980s, scientists realized there was a problem with Earth’s protective coat of ozone...it was thinning. The SAGE family of instruments was pivotal in making accurate measurements of the amount of ozone loss in Earth’s atmosphere and helped leaders around the world institute an international treaty banning products containing harmful chemicals that destroy stratospheric ozone. SAGE is a key part of NASA’s mission to provide crucial, long-term measurements that will help humans better understand and care for Earth’s atmosphere.

SAGE III/ISS Science Team Assembled

The SAGE III/ISS mission has assembled its science team members! The individuals on this team from a variety of diverse institutions will conduct studies using the data from the SAGE III instrument to help us better understand the composition of Earth’s atmosphere and how it’s changing. These ten individuals, selected by competitive solicitation, will provide data analysis and validation, limb scatter algorithm development, assessments of atmospheric composition, studies of clouds and aerosols, contributions to modeling efforts, and multi-sensor data products. You can find descriptions of each member’s proposed work here.
