*1) Earth Science Week*

Earth Science Week, sponsored by the American Geological Institute, is just around the corner! 
To allow time to request your Earth Science Tool Kit and to get your students involved in the contests 
and activities having early deadlines, make plans now!

/Announcing the New Theme for Earth Science Week:
"The Pulse of Earth Science"
October 14-20, 2007

This year marks the tenth annual Earth Science Week. With this theme, Earth Science Week activities will 
promote public and professional awareness of the status of earth science in education and society. 
The theme will also focus attention on geoscience research, such as that associated with 
the International Polar Year (IPY) and the International Year of Planet Earth (IYPE), 
of which AGI is a Founding Partner. Through these major initiatives Earth Science Week 
will help spread understanding of the impact the earth sciences have on society.

*2) New data*

A new dataset containing "Monthly Tropospheric Total Column NO2 (OMI)"
is now available in the Live Access Server (LAS) under Air Quality in
the Atmosphere section at
http://mynasadata.larc.nasa.gov/las/servlets/dataset?catitem=4. The NO2 data covers the time period from 10/2004 to 03/2007.

NO2 is one of the gases produced when fuel is burned at high temperatures and 
comes principally from motor vehicle exhaust and stationary sources such as 
electric utilities and industrial sources. It also plays a major role in the 
atmospheric reactions that produce ground-level ozone (or smog).

A lesson using NO2 data is in the final edit stages, so look for it on the Lessons page very soon!

*3) New Search Tool now available*

Perhaps you have already used the new Search tool which appears in the top right-hand 
corner of the MY NASA DATA website pages. With the exception of the Live Access Server 
pages, you may conduct a Search of the website from any page! Try it!
