    Since its launch, Jason-2/OSTM charted nearly 2 inches (5 centimeters) of global sea-level rise, a critical measure of climate change.​

    Wait, Jason 3 is already flying. What am I missing?

    These laser pingers have time accuracy I find hard to imagine. To intentionally distract, pinging forest heights is work for a different group of exo birds dear to me. It seems so long ago that Greg Asner was flying Carnegie's first airplane of their series. Flying it himself :)

    Ah, forests. Yes I'm taking it outside.
