We're seeing the atmosphere as we've never seen it before," said Deborah Vane, CloudSat deputy principal investigator at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. "We're no longer looking at clouds like images on a flat piece of paper, but instead we're peering into the clouds and seeing their layered complexity."
I look for there to be new predictions about global warming using the data from this satillite. Conclusions will be made that "We've never seen anything like this" in an alarmist manner. The same thing happened with El Nino/La Nina. We didn't know about it until we put a satillite up there and then BAM, it's the end of the world.
On the science side, this is pretty cool. Any tool to analyze our world is okay by me.
