    The document summarizes several NASA studies and satellite missions from July and August 2022. The Tonga eruption in January blasted an unprecedented amount of water vapor into the stratosphere, which could temporarily warm the Earth's surface. NASA's EMIT instrument aboard the ISS began gathering data on mineral dust in early August to study its climate effects. The upcoming SWOT mission will make the first global survey of freshwater bodies like lakes and rivers later in 2022. A NASA study also found that climate patterns thousands of miles away can impact the timing of US bird migrations.
