WASHINGTON -- NASA is inviting social media followers for a behind-the-scenes look at several airborne Earth science missions during an event Jan. 25 at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center in Edwards, Calif. Social media users may apply for credentials to meet scientists and learn how they study the Earth using specialized science instruments on a unique fleet of aircraft. Three major Earth science missions that will be airborne studying air pollution and climate change next month will be featured. -- NASA's high-altitude unmanned Global Hawk aircraft will fly six miles above the surface to a region of the atmosphere that controls the entry of pollutants and other gases into the stratosphere. NASA's Airborne Tropical Tropopause Experiment (ATTREX) will look at how these gases influence Earth's climate, ozone layer and energy budget. -- Two NASA planes will fly over the San Joaquin Valley to measure air pollution this winter.

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
