Representative image San Francisco: The US space agency has collaborated with Google to help local governments improve their monitoring and prediction of air quality. NASA and Google will develop advanced machine learning-based algorithms that link space data with Google Earth Engine data streams to generate high-resolution air quality maps in near real-time. "We're thrilled about our partnership with NASA to make daily air quality more actionable at a local level," said Rebecca Moore, director at Google Earth, Earth Engine and Outreach at Google. The results will create city-scale, near real-time estimation and forecasting of harmful pollutants, such as nitrogen dioxide and fine particulate matter. Google has incorporated two new NASA data sets into the Earth Engine Catalogue that are automatically updated daily.
