The boat was responsible for transporting the scientific instrument known as TIME, which will accurately analyze air pollution in North America. The novelty of the technological resource lies in the possibility of analyzing information with unsurpassed accuracy both at the source of radiation and even in areas where pollutants are propagated by winds.
The novelty of TEMPO lies in the ability to analyze information with unsurpassed accuracy both at the source of the release and even in areas where winds disperse pollutants.
Among the practical improvements made to the equipment is improved alerting local residents in situations where poor air quality could cause health problems.
In addition, it will provide data used to select locations where additional ground detectors need to be installed. And last but not least, it helps to research the health effects of air pollutants and is also an ally in measuring pollution caused by fires.

Polluted air is currently the cause 60,000 premature deaths only in the United States. Even worse, it negatively affects the economy because it affects productivity and also hinders the harvest. Caroline Novlanatmospheric physicist from the Center for Astrophysics, notes: “We will be able to take measurements over New York every day, for example, at 13:30.”.
Tool TIME weighs around 140 kg and will work together with a satellite in geostationary orbit, at an altitude of over 35 thousand kilometers. The device, after it is ready for use, Earth in sync with rotary motionwhich allows you to be taller North America. This is the first time measurements will be possible on an hourly basis.
